The idea of the Website is interesting indeed but the trusting strangers you do not know except online and to carpool everyday with them could be strange in our society unlike abroad where there are many websites like that.

Carpooling now is supported by the government as it can contribute a lot in solving traffic jams in the morning and afternoon. There were public ads supporting it in the past few months in Egyptian TV channels to encourage the people. The people I know welcome the idea but they welcome it with their friends , neighbors and people they know. It saves time and money for sure.

By the way carpooling is not a strange concept in Egypt , we have a carpooling in its own way ,a group of parents agree with taxi drivers to take their kids to and from schools every day for specific some of money shared within each other.

I hope carpooling idea meet more success in Egypt , we really need it ; especially in new urban areas like in the 6th of October and New Cairo.
