How do people start carpools?
Many carpools begin quite informally between neighbors or coworkers. Other carpools are initiated with the help of employers and The T, who can match commuters based on work hours and geographic location. This carpool matching assistance through The T is absolutely FREE. Once commuters find someone whose schedules and locations are compatible, the next step is to meet the potential carpooler to discuss arrangements. Suggestion: Set a trial period of a week or so. Each individual carpooler can leave the pool during the trial period if they so desire. Once the carpool is set, courtesy dictates that participants who decide to leave give advance notice to their carpooling partners to minimize any inconvenience.
