Win-win for car owners and passengers

Thursday, December 14, 2006 Comment on blog WIN-WIN for car-owners as well as passengers This is a brilliant suggestion. Practical problems would include the slowing down of traffic due to cars often stopping to pick up and leave passengers. I suggest the fare should only be that of bus-fare. Also, only car-owners should be allowed this picking up. Employee-drivers would seek to make a fast buck and hence there would be competition on the roads. 8:28:03 PM Posted By Venu Gopal Comments (2) Uncategorized Comments govind Thursday, December 14, 2006 9:04:55 PM May we have link to original blog to comment on yours please ?

WIN-WIN for car-owners as well as passengers
In Delhi , daily I drive my Maruti 800 from Karol Bagh to ITO and find so many passengers standing to go on same route but I feel hesitant to give them lift in my car as
* daily it's not possible
* who knows one of them will snatch my keys and run away with my car
*passengers also feel why I am offering the lift ?
So an interesting situation develops daily :--
*my car is going empty but 3-4 persons can easily sit
* these 3-4 persons go uncomfortably in crowded buses / undisciplined auto etc
* in Delhi summer or winter when weather is at peak , they can easily enjoy AC of my car. During rains also , your attire remains intact in a car than other public transport .
If I am allowed to charge Rs 10/- each passenger ,
* I shall feel motivated to offer lift to 3-4 persons daily
* my petrol-expenses shall get a sort of reimbursement
* passengers will also feel inclined to take a " paid " journey rather than a free lift.
Initially to make the scheme popular , let Delhi Govt not charge anything. Only on payment of token ONETIME processing fee of Rs 100 /- , let a sticker be issued to me so that passengers may know I am " legally ' allowed to give them lift . Only ( genuine ) car-owners with mobile numbers be given this ticker to avoid misuse. Many Colonies / societies also issue Car-passes these days --let Delhi Govt give power to RWAs to issue such stickers so that responsibility is there.
These are , however , my first thoughts only . Please comment here so that scheme is WIN-WIN for car-owners / passengers alike.
