Is
Carpooling a good idea ???
Are we
people hesitant to adopt it ??
Having lived and worked in singapore for many years now. At peak
hours it takes longer time commute to work. During this time, the
fuel is simply consumed out at Traffic signals and people like me
experience to much of crowd in all of the public transport
options.
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
So the result
of avoiding carpooling :
1.Fuel is
burnt unnecessarily . People are in a hurry to leave and their
vehicles are in start mode at traffic signal and thats when fuel
consumption is at its peak
2.Due to fuel wastage, there is an increase in demand for
fuel
3.Fuel charges per person becomes very high .
4.Unnecessary slow moving traffic or heavy traffic
Advantages out of Car Pooling:
1. Fuel cost
can be shared and in that way fuel cost per person
reduces
2.Traffic Jam and slow moving traffic reduces and public can get
some breather during their travel during peak hour in mrt and
bus.
3. Efficient usage of fuel at traffic signals
4.Getting to know people better (Human relations improve)
I don't know if this can ease or solve a bit of the is the
problem
Personally I use public transport to travel to the maximum level
and some time gets frustration and feel how i can i contrubute to
ease the issue , so made me write this in this foroum to
check
We know there are challenges faced but definitely it must have a
solution .So lets discuss the challenges and not personal opinion
with all due respect to all sg forum users.
