carpooling

Carpooling is sharing a car ride with others traveling the same route, typically to work or school: We started carpooling to split the cost of gas.

The arrangement reduces expenses, traffic, and environmental impact.

A carpool lane on highways is reserved for vehicles carrying multiple passengers.
