CAR POOLING
Aim is to make people aware about the benefits of sharing and
car pooling. The people are not aware or are partly aware
about the various benefits of Car pooling, slugging, & hitching.
I stay at Thane from there I travel down to my college at
Goregaon. I use the roadways to commute as station is too far
from my place.
From the journey I have learnt many things good and bad. How
different people have varying opinion about their view on car
pooling system.
I would hence like to first make some concepts related to car
pooling understand in depth.
This is an attempt to make people mutually understand how car
pooling is beneficial to both the parties involved in the process.
Followed with my part of contribution to the same.

Background
In order to relieve traffic volume during the morning and
evening rush hours, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes were
built in many major cities to encourage carpooling and greater
use of public transport. This put at a disadvantage car drivers
who were unable to switch travel modes, join formal ride-
sharing schemes, or informally ride-share with acquaintances,
friends, or family.
The term slug (used as both a noun and a verb) came from bus
drivers who had to determine if there were genuine passengers
at their stop or just people wanting a free lift, in the same way
that they look out for fake coins—or "slugs"—being thrown into
the fare-collection box.
