People often don't carpool due to a lack of time flexibility and trust in potential companions. However, social networking platforms and mobile apps could help address these issues by facilitating real-time carpool coordination and vetting of drivers and passengers. These services would allow users to publicly list their commute availability, request and receive ride confirmations, and earn rewards for participating in carpools.
