An introduction to positives of car pooling for staff in Bloomsbury

Workplaces up and down the country aren't yet familiar with the idea of car pooling and how it can provide excellent solutions to commuting such as working well for the environment and saving on employee travel costs.

Car pooling is when company employees share car journeys by getting together with another colleague who goes the same route and splitting the cost of fuel between the passengers with some colleagues even sharing the vehicle as well.

Not only will car pooling help to save the planet, but say you work in Bloomsbury then it could help you to cut down on travel expenses. What better reason to sign up to a car pooling initiative?

If you are still unsure then here are some more positives, compiled by officebroker.com.

1) Some government agencies plan to assist those hoping to car pool. You might be able to source a private vehicle to get to and from your place of work and lessen the pressure on your Bloomsbury bus companies. You may not even have to spend the whole journey to Bloomsbury with a travel buddy as if you collect someone part-way to the office which means for some people it will hardly be any extra effort. This makes car pooling to Bloomsbury a win-win situation.

2) Alternative means of giving car pooling a go include browsing the web for Bloomsbury car pooling websites which will cost no money and could find you and instant match without needing to go through Bloomsbury paper adverts. If your Bloomsbury office seems keen to join in on the scheme it might be worthwhile talking to your management staff who might wish to add cash bonuses for staff wishing to share thus encouraging more people to actually sign up for it.

3) The first thing you'll want to organise when car sharing is to figure out what your journey will entail and what route to Bloomsbury you'll need to go via to get your passenger so you don't end up driving far more than you would normally. Don't forget how important saving fuel is to car pooling so be sure to choose the shortest Bloomsbury route available and check the right roads to take before you set off confirming with your passenger where the pickup point is.

4) When relocating our office a few years ago to a WC1 serviced office that was found on officebroker.com my bosses decided to roll out a companywide initiative of car pooling in order to bring colleagues together and save money. Colleagues across the company were able to save cash that, otherwise, would have gone on Bloomsbury transport such as buses or taxis had the car pooling concept not been implemented - offering extra opportunities for colleagues to get to know each other outside the office.

5) If you're keen to take your car pooling to the next level and you have a lengthy commute to your place of Bloomsbury you may like to invite those who do not work with you to join in and they would pay only for their portion of the costs. Feeling safe in your vehicle is the most important thing and you should treat strangers with the same caution you would normally - why not try taking another colleague along for assistance when you meet any new car pooling buddies for the first time.

So if you want to make an impact on the environment and you'd like to pocket a bit of extra petrol money as well as sharing a ride with a fellow colleague then car pooling to Bloomsbury might well be the solution for you!
