U know i think a year ago we saw a small article on TOI about car pooling and that time i thought this was a brilliant idea.I mean a person who made this thinks about bangalore so much.Hats off to Mr.Vipul..i still remember his photograph(he sitting inside a car).That day i even put him on air..and asked him some questions about car pooling.Thats when Pavi came up with a great idea of doing the entire car pooling event on air..We even did it for 2 weeks....but after that the fizz was out...not many banglorians are open to the idea (not that they have changed now).
Then as usual complaining about traffic every single day...yelling at Police and ofcourse yelling at others continued and increased day to day!!!U know if one person has to go a small shop which is 200 mts away they use a car.People go to gym to be fit and they use their car ( Cant they just walk and finish the warm up) not only that a lot of peolpe who go to parks and lakes for walk also come by car and then start walking (again cant they walk and finish it there).I mean everyone is adding to the problem ( but no one wants to accept it!!Oie enough gyaan!!!)
Today we have made an attempt to decongest the city(ditto copy from our studio liner).Actually its a choice that we have given to all...u wanna use it or not its completely left to u but then the choice is given.Thats car pooling.Instead of 4 people who go to the same office from almost the same place using 4 cars we give them a platform to get together and use only one car.With this we are helping from our end to cut the traffic down.
Its a superb idea..atleast for a short term until the metro is done and we have nice public transport system (atleastthats wat our additional commissioner of Police said ).We can make new friends and have fun while driving.NOt only that a lot can be saved...first energy (coz one week only u have to drive in a month if u have 3 others)..then money (u spend just about 14rs per lt petrol instead of 57rs) and then stress levels will also come down.Wow all of this with just one small initiative...man internet rocks.
Now i know that no one can car pool with me coz my timings is a little odd but nontheless i have registered and hoping one more person will come along.The rest of u common login to www.commuteeasy.com and register...Who knows maybe ur next friend is waiting for u!!!!
Until our next CSR this is Pallavi saying Barla!!!!

i must say that this is a wonderful idea and most of us love to be eco friendly but nothing is brought to action.......but this is one thing every one can do....
Good Idea...

Thanx abhi and dont worry i dont think ur office will get shifted so chillax
yeah vivek so we are all hoping something good should come from this!!!
Hey vijay why wont it work ya??
Well...
though many people in the same locality would be working in the same company, some or probably majority would not bother to give lift or pick up...then think of some 4-5 Guys going n One person's Car...
No one bothers and they will be busy and bugged up with their own work...
how can they care Neighbors?
hello the day i heard it on air, the very next fay i started off with it.....
definitely i did not ask unknown ppl but actually spoke to friends who stay my place..... i remember we five ppl were using different modes of transport to reach the same place..... now am enjoying travelling with my friends and all thanx to car cooling.......
nice idea...
@vijay
