Share Daily Rides ! A good Idea or not ?

I believe these ideas will only pop into the heads of people hailing from Bangalore or Pune or heavy traffic cities. Because it did in mine! 😁

When you are struggling with the two wheeler in a car-smoke polluted atmosphere, and you see at all those people going single on the driver's seat, all you feel is this - 😡

I think a lot of IT companies have implemented Car Pooling services and are successfully running them. Anyone here a part of such a system?

Does make sense - and I think that's the idea behind having a very strong public transport system.

We all are just looking at the positive side of it, I know it has numerous positives.

Does any one thinks that sharing rides with un-knowns may not be a very good idea, especially for females? Do you think that calls for crime like sexual assultation?

I believe we all must heave heard something similar things in newspapers, social media. Any idea to fix those cons before saying 'YES' to the sharing rides??

Anyone thinks that I am making a bit of sense???

In my company they provide mandatory free transport (negotiating in CTC), it encourages people to come in cab. Though people come in own vehicle but most of them come in cab only.

@#-Link-Snipped-# - It really helps to reduce the pollution. May helps to economy also.

Here an apartment in chennai following a nice idea. They kept the black board in car park which contains the flat number & contact details & message.

They will write the destination, time, seat accomodation etc.. So if you are going to the same destination, then you can join with them.

I am sure that it would not affect the women and if that's the main concern then a cab specially run by women can be a better solution because if women driving a auto is possible then why can't the cab or a car?

CABs 😳😳😳
Did you actually read the topic??

I had totally messed it.
sorry friends i thought about CABs.

I take a friend with me on my scooter. Most guys in my company also do the same. So we 'actually' practice this system of sharing our 'two-wheeler' pillion seats. This way, it's mutually helpful as each person gets to share the petrol expense thereby reducing the time and cost of boarding a bus by upto 50% every month!


One View:
Cars are comfortable, but unless you're the boss of your own company you wouldn't want to get stuck in a traffic jam in a 4 wheeler! I see a lot of family men who have cars who also use a two-wheeler for easier and single use commuting. They keep the car for family use - thus saving our resources and most importantly - our precious time!

Another View:

Some people feel that two-wheelers are not safe for commuting as they are more prone to accidents. Maybe that's why some men use a 4 wheeler and (are willing to get stuck in traffic) for the sake of safety - thereby (financial) safety of their family!

P.S.: If you fall under the category of people who work within less than 4km radius of your home, then you should consider using a bicycle (and a raincoat) - a much healthier option in the long run.
