Carpooling is an international trend that helps reduce traffic and protect the environmental ecosystem. Through applications or technological platforms, drivers and passengers can search for available rides and cars with free seats, respectively.
With these tools, several people can travel in the same vehicle to reach a common destination. Their objective is to optimize the use of the car by maximizing the number of seats used.
Latin America seeks to implement this trend in the vehicle fleet, since it has given very good results in large European metropolises, burdened by traffic congestion.
Companies such as Hoop Carpool come to the region to offer mobility solutions that allow, among other things, to decongest cities through safe mechanisms because they only allow carpooling with members of the same community or the same company.
In addition, it is an economical solution that also improves mobility emissions by reducing the use of vehicles.
