The “super commute” is back

Rideshares offer an alternative to car commuting

Getting to work by bus, train, subway, ferry, carpool, and vanpool has been the standard options as an alternative to driving to work each day, alone. Until now.  What started out as an idea for anyone who had a car to make some extra income as a driver by finding passengers through an app and charging a fee for the ride has established itself as a new commuting option in many cities and towns. 

Making the most of every seat in the car to save money and energy goes back to the first Ford Model T. Since then, the history of carpooling has been tied very closely to changes in fuel prices, politics and the state of the economy.
