If you regularly commute to your workplace by car you could save up to £50 a month by sharing your journey with a colleague.
Lift sharing (also called car sharing, ride sharing and carpooling) is simply an agreement between two individuals to travel together by car, reducing fuel costs without giving up the convenience and comfort of a car.

Lift sharing can be used for any type of journey, both business or leisure. Feedback from regular lift sharers tells us that they feel safer, enjoy the chance to have a chat and even make new friends. The benefits will be felt much more widely too, since congestion and pollution are both reduced by having less cars on the road.
