KoolPool is aimed at catalyzing the most important resource of the city into action. Which resource? You! Think about it. What’s common with the morning commute to work for most of us? Traffic. Mind numbing, energy sapping and time consuming traffic. We all moan about it. Now here’s a chance for you to do something to rectify the situation!
We did some surveys on Vehicle Occupancy Levels and discovered something startling. The average occupancy of private vehicles was under 2 people per car! That means perfectly good vehicular space that goes to waste as we sit waiting to inch forward in traffic every morning. Most of us factor in at least 30-45 minutes extra travel time in the mornings. Now you know why you’re doing that!
Now imagine if some of these people were to leave their cars behind and pool in with someone else. And what if there were people waiting to pool but didn't know someone whom they could pool with? What if they had access to people wanting to carpool? Even with just two people pooling per car, can you imagine the number of cars that wouldn’t be on the roads! That’s where koolpool comes in!
Koolpool uses Information Technology to bring together people who are willing to pool and are traveling in the same direction. It uses the ubiquitous SMS for matching people traveling in the same direction and wanting to pool.
We call it an interesting initiative. It’s happening for the first time and it empowers YOU to make traveling less strenuous not only for yourself but also for your fellow travelers.
