Uber Carpooling

Google's Waze unit, best known for its navigation and traffic monitoring app, has extended the year-old carpooling service outside its initial markets of northern California and Israel.

The service, which is already available in Delhi and Bengaluru, will reach Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai on Sunday.

Automakers now recognise they may turn ride-hailing services and car sharing companies into steady customers for all sorts of vehicles.

The Scoop application connects people who live in the same neighbourhoods and work near each other to arrange carpools.

Waze Carpool would serve as an alternative to ride-sharing services such as Uber or Lyft - at least for people dealing with daily commutes.

"India is a huge opportunity. Ride-sharing is steadily growing and the country could soon be our largest market going ahead," BlaBlaCar co-founder and COO Nicolas Brusson said.

Chariot For Women is not the first service to offer services in this niche, but none has ever been successful, in part due to charges of discrimination.

Uber and Ola have a big problem in under-utilised taxis - carpooling could be the solution they're looking for.

After Bangalore and Delhi, taxi aggregator Uber would launch carpool service in Kolkata this year, offering at least 30 per cent lower fares to those who share cab rides as part of efforts to check rising pollution.

"In 2016, we are going to start carpool service in Kolkata," Uber said in a statement.

Delhi government's even odd formula will come into force from January 1. If you don't qualify for the exemptions, these apps can help.

Launched before the rollout of Delhi's odd-even formula for vehicles, Ola wants to improve the capacity utilisation of private vehicles with the initiative.

Cab aggregator Ola today launched a 'CarPool' feature, which will allow residents in Delhi-NCR to pool rides using their private cars through Ola's app.

The ride-sharing feature will be made available on Ola's app in a phased manner to all users in Delhi over the coming week, the company said.

Cab hailing app Uber is now looking at enabling private car owners in the city to car pool through its platform in order to meet the heavy demand expected once the state government implements its odd-even formula.
