The recent spurt in the international crude oil prices had all of us worried. From oil companies to government to consumers, everyone skipped a beat or two when the international prices kept on rising at $1 a day. But few intelligent folks, instead of worrying, tried to get ahead of times and resorted to carpool in India with success. Car sharing in India needs to be adopted at a mass scale simply due to the unaffordable fuel prices that refuse to subside. The rising fuel prices are also responsible for growth of car rental in India, as more and more people prefer a rented car for their needs instead of owning one.

In the big metros, like Delhi and Mumbai, Indian carpool sector is slowly getting its due share. Carpools in Delhi and carpools in Mumbai have been trendsetters for the rest of the country to follow an intelligent and economic model of saving on fuel costs and save the nations the crucial petro-dollars. Carpool Delhi is, however currently leading the way and is bound to grow in coming years.

In fact, ride sharing in India, apart from having economic benefits, also provides certain other benefits. Carpool means lesser vehicles on roads. So, fewer roadblocks and smooth and fast movement of traffic. It also means lesser air pollution due to lower volume of traffic. It also means lesser noise pollution due to constant blaring of horns by sea of cars. It also means greater camaraderie with the fellow travelers. It also means scope for new social relations. It also means decongested parking sites. It also means a sense of responsibility and consequently, safe driving.

With so many benefits offered by ridesharing in India, carpool culture is just waiting to unleash on the Indian roads. What are you waiting for? Go ahead and explore the possibility of carpool with your friends and neighbors.
