Ride-sharing/Carpooling - Sharing is Kindness

Why Ride-share/Carpool?

For many commuters who drive to the city, ride-sharing (or carpooling) offers many benefits:

Save money by sharing the steadily rising costs of driving with other commuters
Save the environment by polluting less
Save precious resources for future generations (oil reserves are finite)
Save the narrow ribbon of road we all depend upon - fewer cars mean less wear
Save (share) the stress of driving

Ride-sharing is kind on your pocket and kind on the planet.

How it Works

Our aim is to help people offering rides and those requiring a ride to find each other. After that, it's over to you to make arrangements to suit you both, including a contribution for petrol money.
