The concept of vehicle pooling was prevalent in metro cities. I launched the website in Ahmedabad in June last year with aim of reducing people’s fuel costs and promoting environmental cause. Also, it helps people in networking and making new friends. Once the user uploads his route and requirements, we provide him with matching profiles. He can contact them directly and discuss further details,” said Suresh Purohit, an entrepreneur who started http://www.olivetrips.com that offers car pooling service for free.
About 275 Gujaratis are availing benefits of vehicle sharing through his site and the number is increasing every month.
Purohit, an MBA graduate said that trend of vehicle pooling will pick up faster when people know about such website and understand benefits of sharing system.
City-based entrepreneur Ruchira Choudhuri Saikia has gone a step ahead and introduced the concept of socializing through vehicle pooling website.
“We are introducing chat, video and status update facilities on our website (www.greenyatri.com) that will be launched within a month. Those logging onto the website can find partners for vehicle pooling, chat with other users and work out the sharing plans. Also, they can upload videos or pictures related to traffic issues in the city. The experience will be similar to some popular networking sites,” Ruchira told TOI.
Their focus is to reduce environment pollution and congestion on roads.”
