The money savings of car pooling make it so attractive though. Anyone else have any <strong>simple savings</strong> techniques for transport?

Anyone else have any simple savings techniques for transport?

YIKES! It was hard on him,though, because his schedule wasn't on track with his friend's. He's not what you'd call a morning person, but they were leaving at 5 AM. And although he was able to get his work to agree to allow him an alternative work schedule, his boss managed to come up with reasons for him to stay late and require me to come and pick him up from work. Ick! So that didn't work out too well in the long-term. It just depends. I advocate carpooling. I remember doing it when I was in Elementary school as a kid. The moms all took turns driving us to school and picking us up. It was great, and it strengthens friendships.
