Tweet-- Indimoto.com, India’s 1st Carpool website has launched the ‘Carpool for Full Fuel Offer’ as a part of its 2nd Anniversary celebrations. Commuters hard hit by the rising fuel prices can now find carpool partners across 130 cities through the ‘free to use’ website which has already enabled over 1500 commuters to carpool and reduce their fuel expenses by up to 80%. Those registering on Indimoto.com for a carpool during June’ 2008 would not only get to save on fuel costs but ten lucky winners will win a full tank of fuel each. Speaking on the occasion Indimoto.com, Founder & CEO, Udit Bhandari said “We are facing an inevitable fuel price hike caused by insatiable global demand. The world over, commuters are evaluating options to save fuel. Carpooling is an easy solution which helps cut fuel costs by at least 50% and has many other environmental benefits too. Since 2006, Indimoto.com has been spreading awareness about Carpooling and its benefits, while encouraging commuters to log on to the website to find suitable carpool partners. To appreciate commuters who are willing to give carpooling a try, we are going to reward new members who register for a carpool on Indimoto.com.”
To participate in the offer, commuters need to register at http://www.indimoto.comand go on to post a ‘carpool wanted’ listing (free) mentioning their route and contact details. Commuters don’t need to own a car to carpool as they can carpool with other car owners and share the fuel cost. However to win the full tank of fuel, the winner must have a car. Though carpooling is an excellent medium to reduce fuel expenses, traffic, pollution and carbon emissions, commuters in India have been slow in adapting to it. Indimoto.com is optimistic that the ‘Carpool for Full Fuel Offer’ would generate greater interest in carpooling and make it a wide-spread commuting solution in the Indian context.
