carpools
Shared driving arrangements
Carpools are arrangements where people share rides in a single vehicle, typically for commuting to work or school.
The practice reduces costs, traffic, and environmental impact.
As a verb, to carpool is to participate in such an arrangement: We carpool to save on gas.
Many highways have carpool lanes reserved for vehicles with multiple occupants.
