2nd NU12 Topic: e-Carpooling
Carpooling is common means of transportation; it is also called as car-sharing, ride-sharing, and/or lift-sharing. Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys merely travelling in almost the same destination so that more than one person travels in a car.
Benefits of carpooling:
1. Reduces driver's cost (by sharing of gas, & toll fee)
2. Reduces traffic congestion
3. Saves environment (reduces carbon footprint)
4. Need of a parking space
5. Convenience for passengers/commuters
6. Safety among the group (esp. when the group knows each other)
Mostly, carpooling are being present to family members, friends, neighbors, and officemates. The chance of being part in a carpool is, if you have a family member/friend/neighbor/officemate that has his own car and willing to offer you the available seat in his car. So this carpooling is not being offered to all commuters. Also, drivers who have less acquaintances cannot max out his car's seating capacity.
What is e-Carpooling?
It'll be a tool (a website for easy access to everyone) that will bridge passengers who prefers to ride in a carpool for his/her day-to-day means of transportation and drivers who wants to ensure that every time he roll out his car out his garage maximizes his earnings thru a full & secured seating capacity.
How it works?
Drivers to register their personal data (for safety purposes) in the website, then car type, seating capacity, and target pick-up point and point of destination (like Makati, Ortigas, Cubao, Eastwood, etc...).
Then on the website will reflect the available carpool per pick-up point, destination, and fare.
Lastly, interested passengers will book their preferred carpool either on a per annum basis, quarterly, weekly, or just for one day. Passengers will also have to register their personal data for safety purposes as well. 3.5 (mas maganda apps?
