Chennaites can make their commuting easy and eco-friendly. This is by sharing the vehicle among common routers. Those who go in common route, can pick up or drop others in the same route.

Earlier, it is difficult to find who is regularly going in our route. We do not even communicate with our neighbors. It was difficult find who are our 'route mates'.

Now with the help of google map and mashup applications, things changed a lot.

We can easily find our 'route mates'.

This website is dedicated to help you find your route mate and share your traveling from your home to office and vice versa. Right now this covers few major cities in India.

Their easy self intuitive google map application help you to fix your destination and target. Simple click, drag are enough.

Once you registered, you can search for your route mate or some other may search you as their route mate.

The concept and application is highly innovative. May be new to India. May be new to me. Really an unique way of using internet to make people interact for a unique purpose.

This 'people interact for a unique purpose' can not be made easy in practical without internet.

I am not sure whether this business model or 'innovative internet usage' will take off or is it another bubble in the dot com ocean.

Moreover, nothing can be left copyrighted in the Internet. Sooner or later many websites with such service may sprout out.

As on date, I do not feel this web site has a 'critical mass' to take off and proliferate. Hope it will increase its user base, let the commuting be shared and eco-friendly.

Let us see.
