One of the solutions to eradicate traffic jamming is car pooling. Stack at least three people in the same car and make them share the gas consumption and enjoy a social ride.
Usually, car pooling organizations have set a web service. But in Mumbai, India, not everyone could access to the Internet while mobile phones are blooming in every hand. And KoolPool jumps in the SMS bandwagon.
In fact, KoolPool business model looks closer to a citizen taxi pool than car sharing. Every driver could subscribe to the service for an annual fee of about €3.5. Every transportation should be accepted. Passengers willing to get a cab text the booking service, which checks who is driving towards them. It sends back an SMS. Car-owners get around €0.25 per passenger.
Note: If you know some organizations which do the same in the rest of the world, drop a comment. We’ll deeply appreciated it.
