Ride Sharing
February 19, 2008 | Permalink
Being eco-friendly while traveling is on the forefront of the minds of many Road Warriors lately. We have written before about green travel and now ride sharing, an earth friendly option, has been made easier to arrange and execute through an online program.
Ride sharing can take cars off the road and benefits business travelers headed in the same direction who may want some good company. PickupPal is a website that connects drivers and passengers online. It allows you to read reviews of drivers and passengers so you can make an informed choice. Rides are usually given at a price the driver chooses, but because you are sharing the ride, this could save you money over other means of transportation.
These kinds on online ride sharing sites are in some ways similar to hitchhiking, so use caution and common sense if you decide to use the service. You could meet a great new friend or business contact, all while helping to reduce carbon emissions.
