Cashless Carpools in Digital India by Poolmycar.comNEW DELHI, November 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With increasing pollution levels, the government and even the Supreme Court are looking at ways to combat it. The Indian Medical Association, a day back, has declared a public health emergency state in New Delhi, urging all schools to stop any outdoor activities for children. Poolmycar has joined its efforts to combat rising pollution levels, bringing the ability to pool in cars by all, helping reduce the cars on the road, and making everyone reach where they want to go, in no time. The company, which is launching its app on Google Play today, and will shortly be available on the iOS store, will help individuals who are looking to book short haul cabs, whether to the office or someplace else. All they need to is to switch on the phone app, and they will be able to connect with other pool riders across Delhi and NCR, and can decide a pick-up point. Anybody who is willing to share their car for commutes can use the ridesharing feature, and contribute their bit to the environment. Users have to first create a profile, select to eiher offer carpool or search for one, and the system would automatically find the right match for the passenger - with a car that has the shortest travelling time to their destination. The entire process is easy and just what one would expect from a good ridesharing app. Poolmycar has tied-up with MobiKwik, and all the payments for fuel sharing happen seamlessly. When the ride ends, the passenger can click the end ride button, and the payment/fuel sharing cost is transferred from passenger to rider automatically. The rider and passenger are compelled to leave a review about their experience which helps others while selecting right person to ride with. Currently, riders are charged by the kilometres - which is calculated by Google Maps GPS - and at around 3 INR per kilometre as fuel sharing cost, making it one of the most affordable rides too. Security isn't a concern, with each rider having access to a SOS HELP button - after the button is hit; notifications are sent to the emergency contact mentioned in his/her profile including the Poolmycar admin. Every rider's details are stored onto the system, and checks carried out, including for Aadhar, mobile number and social media. One can also share their route details with their friends and families, as soon as they board the ride.
