Carpooling - The Newest Trend In City

By Patrick G. Moore


The fuel price has reached a mark that is so unbelievable, but unfortunately, this is the reality we have to face and so to cut down the expenses we must think of some creative ways. One of the ways is through carpooling. This is nothing new but not popular because people simply don't see how it can benefit them in every way. However, as the fuel price is totally uncontrollable, people are looking for ways to save money. You benefit more when you carpool.

You get to save the environment. The nature is dying. Nature alone will be extinct if no one cares for it anymore. The truth is we live in the nature and it is part of us. Without Earth, there will be no us. So, by taking care of the nature is taking care of our home. Carpooling helps by reducing the number of cars on the road, thus reducing the amount of Carbon Dioxide being released into the air.

Save more money. You will be sharing the fuel money with your carpooler friends so it will cut down your expenses and you can save some money. Even if just a few dollars can make big difference to your savings so start carpooling and see your bank account grow bigger.

Cut down the traffic jam. Everyone hates traffic jam. By carpooling, you can reduce the cars on the road and make the whole journey smoother. Some people have to wait in the traffic jam for hours before they reach the office. It is wasting time and wasting fuel as engine used up more fuel when idling.

Pay the lowest parking fee. You can never avoid parking fees if you have a car. Now, you get to share the cost with all the carpoolers thus everyone can save up a bit of money, which in turn will make big difference in long term. It is recommended to get a monthly pass rather than paying for parking on daily basis.

Mingle with people. Talking is something we rarely do these days especially when we are so caught up in work and family. There is simply no time to socialize with friends so you can use the opportunity of carpooling to talk and discuss with friends that carpool together. It is also a great way to catch up with each other.
