In my days when I used to work for the council, we had allocated parking spaces within the building. However due to shortage of spaces, you were also allocated a day when you could not park in the building, but look for alternative parking options for that day.

London is an expensive city as such and my workplace in Uxbridge was a prime location for shopping. Therefore, it was very difficult to get paid parking, let alone free areas.  Most of the employees parked in the shopping centre but it cost them an arm and a leg for the day.

Therefore, if my non-parking day were Tuesday then I would either have to park in the shopping arcade or use public transport to get into work. People who are in the habit of travelling by car do not like using public transport, so carpooling became the next best option.

Everyday people posted advertisements offering and looking for rides on the local intranet.  Therefore, I could advertise that I am looking for a ride from my home area to the office on Tuesdays as that was my non-parking day. Anyone driving in from my area that had access to the council parking on Tuesday would offer me a life to and from work. That way I could get into work by car, and not pay a single dime for parking. Moreover, most importantly I would drive my partner into work on his/her non-parking day.

These have been the basics for starting carpooling in various areas throughout the world. However, with technology and sophistication taking over, these same concepts can now be accessed via Ride Sharing Mobile App Script or Ride Sharing Android App Clone.
