Carpooling in Halifax

[IanWatson]

I worked in the Valley for 4 years and carpooled with a woman in the same office. That worked out fine. We generally had the same hours, and when I had to stay late or something it was easy enough to communicate. She also lived right on the route between my home and work, so it wasn't a big detour to meet up.

However, at one point we tried adding people who were going the same way but weren't in the same office. That didn't really work out. Even the extra 10 minutes it took to pick them up and drop them off at their separate location became a real downer, and coordinating on snowy days and the like became a huge hassle. Commuting sucks enough already, so the added hassle of dealing with someone else just wasn't worth it.
