 Purpose of Car Pooling

 The main idea of Car Pooling is that a group of people can ride in one vehicle instead of having
individuals driving their own car or riding in hired cars. They can take turns using their cars so that
there is savings in terms of money as well as emissions or else ask for one car to pick and ride so
as to reduce number of cars deployed.

 Car pooling is also extended to company officials travelling to outside locations.

 Travelling by company busses is the first option. Cars to be used on need basis only.
