Proceedings: Abstracts of the 5th World Conference on Business, Management, Finance, Economics and Marketing

Dr. Paulina Wiaczek

Abstract

Carpooling system, i.e. one of the chosen models of access economy in terms of social travelling and it is an example of activity in favor of sustainable transport was shown. Traveling together in one car is not considered a new phenomenon, for as an alternative practice to owning one's own car, it was born in North America as early as World War II. .

With the development of the Internet and the advent of the digital age, carpooling has boomed. In view of the challenges facing modern cities, including the constant volume of car traffic, resulting in disruptions to its efficiency and fluidity, and leading to reduced vehicle speeds and negative environmental impacts, the example of carpooling seems to be a reasonable solution.
