💨 Abstract

The Maharashtra government has approved carpooling in private vehicles through registered apps or web-based platforms, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. This decision comes weeks after allowing bike pooling. Carpooling, also known as ride-sharing, will provide an option for female passengers to travel with female drivers. Drivers can conduct 14 pooling trips per week, and the Regional Transport Authority will determine the rates.
