NAC: gas prices going up.....more...

[Jonathan Farrugia]

 As far as I know, there is still no such carpooling portal operating
nationwide on the Internet -- a little surprising, because you would think
in cities at least, people would be willing to give it a try to cut back
on their daily wait times and the fuel costs.
-------------------------------------------

a interesting side note is that here in southeastern michigan there are
companies that use old school buses to shuttle workers from where they
live to industrial parks.  at shift change you can hear a fleet of old
diesel school buses waiting to take workers up to a hour away back to
their homes.  the cliental is primarily poor black automotive workers from
Flint, MI that work in the industrial parks that were built in
greenfields.  the things that city planners and corporations find
"efficient" always seem to amaze me.
