very informative. car pooling is one that is such a nice thing to do, but still has not caught up here in india, at least not in chennai. there is a family in my colony whose children get driven to school daily in their ikon. my son goes to the same school by van & sometimes i drop him, if time permits. when i suggested that we pool with my car one day & theirs the next, they simply did not want to. after that i often see them hurriedly packing off their kids in an auto when their driver fails to turn up. still they have not learnt their lesson. how stupid !!
