Looking for Carpool (Delhi - Noida)

Its been two months since I joined my new company in Noida. Just an evening before my first day, I was searching on net for a carpool and I happen to find Bharati Hari who was also travelling from North Delhi to Noida. Infact he was staying very near to my house in Delhi University flats. The carpool was decided on phone at around 9pm on that very day and next morning I was at his place to drop me to my office. This carpool was really beneficial for both of us not only in terms of saving money but also having a nice company during one hour long journey on our way to office. It was really cool to travel with him though now he has left his current company and is travelling to US soon for his new job. I wish him all the very best for his new job.

Since the beginning of this week I am travelling on my own from my residence Kamla Nagar to Nodia Sec. 62.

If you or someone whom you know also happens to be on same route (North Delhi - Noida Sec62) and would like to pool in with me, please leave a comment or contact me on 9899190407.

What’s a Carpool? (from wikipedia)

Carpooling (also known as ride-sharing, lift-sharing), is shared use of a car, in particular for commuting to work, often by people who each have a car but travel together to save costs and in the interest of other socio-environmental benefits mentioned below. There are sometimes special facilities for carpoolers, including designated pick-up points and high-occupancy vehicle lanes which are also at time opened up to designated cars with multiple riders. Carpool projects have been around in fairly structured form going back to the mid-seventies, and in recent years have begun to make much more extensive use of the internet and software support systems. With the recent advent of mobile phones and SMS, there is a push to integrate these technologies into more flexible systems on the web. Ride sharing is an alternative to get to and connect with people at other large events, such as music festivals and conferences.

Carpools may be formed through word of mouth by friends and colleagues, or through online carpooling services. There is also another system, car sharing, which is often mistaken with carpooling.
