Abstract

Carpooling is one of the latest technologies discovered which has made travelling convenient and efficient to the common man. It also known as car-sharing in which one can travel to their destination while sharing the vehicle and the expenses. Hence fuel costs, tolls and the stress of driving will be reduced when more people travel together in one vehicle. Carpooling is also an environment friendly app and we can save our mother nature by using this app. It also helps in reducing traffic congestion, and other poisonous gases in the air. We can save a lot of space in the Parking lot. We will make an Android based application that will allow passengers to collaborate with other like-minded people and plan out their journey using the easy UI of the app after signing in to it. People will be able to share expenses and not worry about reaching late while making new connections.
