Workplaces up and down the country aren't yet familiar with the process of car pooling and how it can help their business such as working well for the environment and saving on employee travel costs.
Car pooling is when employees share rides by pairing up with another colleague who lives nearby and sharing the fuel costs between them with some even opting to share the cost of the car too.
Not only will car pooling put extra pennies in your piggy bank, but say you travel into Glasgow then it might just help you to cut down on travel expenses. What better reason to sign up to a car pooling initiative?
Not convinced? Well here is a list of benefits, thanks to OfficeSpaceFinders.com.
1) Some government agencies plan to assist those hoping to car pool. You could get your hands on a private car to commute to and from work with a colleague and ease up the demand on Glasgow transport from commuters. There may be no need to spend the entire trip with another traveller as if you don't have to pick your car pooler friend up until part-way through which means that some drivers may hardly notice the detour. Therefore, everybody has something to gain from car pooling to Glasgow.
2) Other ways to get involved with car pooling include checking out Glasgow car pooling sites which is free to use and could turn out a match instantly without having to call up the Glasgow paper to advertise. If you can drum up interest with staff at work it might be worthwhile talking to your management staff who might wish to add cash bonuses for staff wishing to share thus encouraging more people to actually sign up for it.
3) Firstly, to get your car share started you'll have to work out what way you will go to work and which route to Glasgow is acceptable for both parties so you're not driving unreasonable amounts more. It is crucial to remember this, as using less fuel is the goal so opt for the most direct Glasgow route wherever possible and figure out the journey before you leave for your trip designating a clear pickup point with your car buddy.
4) A few years ago our company made the decision to move to serviced offices Glasgow that was found on OfficeSpaceFinders.com senior management decided to initiate a company-wide scheme of car pooling so that the commute to work would be made easier. Staff across the company managed to spare money that, otherwise, would have gone on Glasgow transport such as buses or taxis had the car pooling concept not been implemented - the key benefit being that colleagues get to know one another better.
5) If you want to take your car sharing one step further and you travel relatively far on your way to Glasgow you may wish to search for locals who aren't necessarily colleagues and in this case they would only pay for the distance they travel. Feeling safe in your vehicle is the most important thing and you should treat strangers with the same caution you would normally - why not ask a friend or colleague to go with you when you pick up your new car share buddy for the first time.
So if you want to do your bit for Mother Nature and you'd like to cut down your rising petrol bills as well as helping your colleagues get to work safely then car pooling to Glasgow might well be the solution for you!
