Carpooling success factors (the Netherlands)

Research in the Netherlands shows, still nearly half a million people carpooled to work in 2003. These are 16% of all people driving to work with their car, making 12% of the total number of car kilometres in commuter traffic (carpoolers on average drive longer distances). These numbers show that carpooling may not be underestimated as a means of dealing with accessibility problems. Research has shown that there are 1.2 million solo drivers that have potential for carpooling.
