Everybody into the iPool?

iPool2 logoIt looks CDTA and a handful of other orgs are getting into the business (so to speak) of helping people to set up carpools with a site called iPool2. Here's how a brochure (.doc) we downloaded from the site describes the service:

iPool2.org is an on-line source that allows you to advertise for free for a carpool, find others who are interested in carpooling, and find out information about bus schedules and fares and park and ride lot locations.

One other feature: a guaranteed ride home if plans change.

There's already a site like this, the Capital District Commuter Register. It also offers the guaranteed ride home. It looks like the org behind that site, the Capital District Transportation Committee, is also involved in iPool2.

Maybe everyone's decided to, um, ipool their resources. Hey, the first 300 people to sign up get a free iMug.
