If You Care Share

[Kintyre Forum News]

From the Argyll & Bute Council website, excellent idea.

A car sharing scheme has been launched by HITRANS which we hope will help you to save money and help the environment.
The scheme, which can be found at www.IfYouCareShare.com is free to register, easy to use and can be used for both regular and one-off journeys.

Not only will travelling together help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint, it will also help your pocket by saving you money on fuel.

Councillor Duncan MacIntyre, the Council's Roads and Transportation spokesperson, said, "The saving for a daily commuter who shares a journey instead of driving alone averages over £1,000 a year, but even sharing one-off journeys can deliver significant savings.

"Car sharing also helps the environment, with every journey shared saving greenhouse gas emissions and helping to ease the problems of global climate change. Getting involved with IfYouCareShare.com means you can save your pocket and the planet at the same time."

The site can be used by everyone, giving members the opportunity to share their journey not matter where they are going.

Travellers can find other people who are travelling the same route at a specified time and can register their own preferences, such as travelling with non-smokers, people of the same sex etc. You also have the option of whether or not to participate in a particular arrangement.

To register with the scheme, log on to www.IfYouCareShare.com or call 0845 058 3926 today.
