RE: Cracking the carpool conundrum
Everyone here is listing the problems--why? I've been carpooling for nearly 20 years, and pretty much every problem folks have thrown up so far have come up during that time, and, guess what? Where there's a will, there's a way. Just like at your job, you adapt to changes and move ahead.
My experience tells me that instead of coming up with problems, you just need to find another person interested in cutting their driving expenses in half or more, and you'll figure out the rest. For instance, I save my errand running to the days I drive (easy if you plan ahead). We meet at a rendezvous location near our homes, then commute 20 miles, then when we return, we're dropped off at our cars where we're free to do our errands before heading home.
One of the best features for me is that I get a nice nap on the way home when I'm not driving--what could be better?
