Standard Car-Pooling does NOT work !! “Car Pooling is inflexible. It doesn’t work for me, I leave at different times everyday” – GGN/M/32 “If I don’t like someone in the car-pool, I am stuck for a month – Too much hassle” “That guy is always late. I don’t like being late. I guess our frequencies don’t match” – Delhi/M/32 “Our company has Parking Problem. Tried organizing car pools for our employees. Didn’t work. The biggest reason was because we didn’t have a formal system. Individual time exchanges, mails, organizing on sms’s etc. don’t work. A formal system is required.” –GGN/MNC/Facilities Dept. “Its too embarrassing to ask for money from friends every week/month” “Its difficult for me to trust all the men around. Safety might be an issue” – Delhi/F/30
