Carpool - Other Forms of Carpooling

Other Forms of Carpooling

Carpooling also exists in other forms:

  • Slugging is a form of ad-hoc, informal carpooling between strangers. No money changes hands, but a mutual benefit still exists between the driver and passenger(s) making the practice worthwhile.
  • Flexible carpooling expands the idea of ad-hoc carpooling by designating formal locations for travelers to join carpools.
  • Real-time ridesharing allows people to arrange ad-hoc rides on very short notice, through the use of smartphone applications or the internet. Passengers are simply picked up at their current location.
