Objective

Observations of single occupancy vehicles on roads inspired us to promote carpooling and ridesharing for societal, environmental as well as financial benefits.

Environment

It would be a shame to build a website that tries to save the environment but is hosted on a server that produces pollution. Carpool King is hosted on carbon-neutral servers meaning it's pollution free and green! Verify by clicking the image below.

Green Web Hosting! This site hosted by DreamHost.

Technology

The website was built using latest open source technologies complying with modern web standards to provide users a rich Web 2.0 experience. It will function well in any browser although using Mozilla Firefox is favoured. The recommended resolution requirement is 1,024 pixels in width and the minimum is 800. With lower resolution, the site should still function but users may experience usability degradation.

The website makes heavy uses of Javascript and AJAX for richer user experience. Carpool King guarantees that our client side scripts do not contain any virus or malicious code.

Social network

Social network websites are great channels for carpooling. People can check out each other's profile enhancing sociability and security for sharing rides. Carpool King currently has applications for the following social networks:

  • Facebook - popular in United States and world wide
  • Bebo - popular in commonwealth countries

We are working hard to include other social networks into the picture. So check back sometime for updates!

These applications may contain older features that are yet to be upgraded. If you are a user of this main website, please try out these applications for fun only and enjoy the latest features through the main site.
