"Car Sharing" is a relatively recent idea and it simply means taking one or more passengers with you in your own car, or joining others in their car. Car sharing can particularly help with the daily commute to work although it can also work well for the school run and shopping trips.

Car Sharing

Car sharing is a sociable way to cut the cost of travel and reduce congestion whilst keeping the flexibility and convenience of a "door-to-door" service. It can work particularly well for people in rural areas without frequent public transport services.

Sometimes it is possible to find a suitable car sharing partner by asking around friends, colleagues, fellow parents and neighbours. Somerset County Council has a website dedicated to car sharing options. For more details, please visit: https://www.travelsomerset.co.uk/using-your-car/.
