Do you also get stuck in traffic during your commute to work every day?

Since offices have re-opened post covid, the traffic rate has increased up to 30 percent more than its usual self, as most of the people prefer to use a private vehicle for their own safety. Hence, the more the number of cars on the road, the more time it takes to reach from one place to another. Adding on to the daily commute problems we have the off-season rain pouring down the streets of Delhi which make it impossible for it not to result in a big traffic jam.

When it comes to metro capitals like Delhi and surrounding NCR areas, people spend a substantial amount of time commuting from their residence to work and back in bumper-to-bumper traffic conditions. Carpooling can be a solution to problems such as heavy traffic and air pollution. Delhi's air pollution is getting worse by the day. It is really important to take the necessary steps to ensure a better environment.?

There's ample scientific research showing that the length of your commute negatively impacts your productivity, your satisfaction at work and home, and both your physical and mental well-being. With every seat shared while carpooling, an extra vehicle is taken off the road thus reducing traffic and eventually, the travel time spent on the journey.

Connaught Place, Udyog Vihar, Cyber City-Gurugram, Aerocity, Greater Noida, Nehru Place, Mayapuri, and Okhla are some of the busiest destinations for office goers in Delhi and NCR. The concentration of corporate offices, industrial zones, business parks, and IT hubs in these areas necessitates carpooling along the route. With riders traveling on the same route, carpooling is a great option to commute in Delhi.

Carpooling will encourage people to travel together, heading for the same or nearby destinations. It can decrease the number of cars on the roads and also gives us a chance to network with other working professionals.
