Use carpool to avoid freeze of traffic in Rainy season


If you claim to have never been stuck in the rush hour traffic, you probably aren't from Delhi NCR. Smart NCR works around the concept of carpooling, bringing fellow commuters to use the GreenCar India carpool service. It also allows users to reach out to each other and share vehicles to common destination.

India needs every citizen’s help to bring down the dangerously high air pollution level it is currently at. It is our civic duty to do as much as we can, at an individual level, to reduce the damage done to our environment on a daily basis.

The traffic congestion is getting worse every day and the rising fuel cost is adding to the higher vehicle ownership as well. With all these factors, the daily commute for an average office goer is becoming an unpleasant and hectic experience. Most of the people today are suffering Traffic Stress Syndrome, resulting in unnecessary honking, rash driving, road rage and accidents.

On Thursday last week in Delhi NCR, thousands of employees and other commuters were stucked in Gurgaon as heavy rains led to waterlogging on National Highway-8. This has led to massive traffic jams near Hero Honda chowk to Sohna road. With the result of this authorities forced to declare a holiday on Saturday also shut down schools and few offices.





Many motorists deserted their vehicles and walk through knee-deep water which caused on both the carriageways of Delhi-Jaipur road, bringing traffic to a standstill, with the tailback extending up to 15-20 kilometers.





Overnight rains in NCR has also left the Faridabad – Gurgaon highway battling traffic jams, waterlogged roads and flooding on thursday night. The incessant rains saw several areas of the city inundated with water.

To avoid traffic and heavy Jams people can use GreenCar India carpooling service. Since, carpooling is one of the economic ways of contributing to this cause, we urge you to support the cause and help us help the country.

Being the only NGO in India to provide such a platform, it is our duty to propagate carpooling or sharing ride as a pocket-friendly and safe way of contributing to our economy and positively impacting our environment.

We are an environmentally conscious NGO that provides safe carpooling solutions with the aim of reducing the burden on the environment and the economy.

How Carpool Service helps to Control Traffic Congestion



GreenCar, a nonprofit enterprise has been started with the vision  to connect users who have cars or car seats to share, with other users who are looking for a cheaper, more convenient, and easy-to-access-through-mobile app/web based platform for finding their own rides to work on real time basis. With the rise in income and various finance schemes, private vehicles are becoming more common and increasing in number where as the road infrastructure remains the same.

The traffic congestion is getting worse every day and the rising fuel cost is adding to the higher vehicle ownership cost as well. With all these factors, the daily commute for an average office goer is becoming an unpleasant and hectic experience. Most of the people today are suffering Traffic Stress Syndrome, resulting in unnecessary honking, rash driving, road rage and accidents. People are becoming more disconnected than ever. We want to provide an alternative mode of daily commute option which is comfortable yet affordable for the passengers and gives the car-owner a platform to recover their vehicle ownership cost.

India needs every citizen’s help to bring down the dangerously high air pollution level it is currently at. It is our civic duty to use carpool service as much we can, at an individual level, to reduce the damage done to our ecosphere on a daily basis. Since, carpooling is one of the economic ways of contributing to this cause, we urge you to support the cause and help us help the country.

As commonly experienced by any road user of Delhi/Bangalore/Hyderabad or any metros, private cars are causing traffic congestion by inefficiently using the limited road space - the cars are typically carrying only one to two commuters against a capacity of 5 or more (a low 20 to 40% capacity utilization). The present scheme however treats the available spare capacity in cars as an opportunity to provide a transport solution - whereby 3-4 Commuter, instead of traveling in separate cars, accommodate themselves in one car, especially during peak hours. In other words, the scheme aims to increase the capacity utilization (also called load factor) of cars to 60-80% and in the process take at least 50 % cars off the road. A 50 % reduction in number of cars plying on roads during peak hours, would decongest roads, increase traffic speed, and cut down fuel consumption by more than 50 per cent. And yes, they do their bit for the environment by saving on fuel emissions.

Is Carpooling a better way to reduce Air pollution?


Air quality in Delhi has been going from bad to worse and the situation is "serious".

According to recent report of WHO Delhi is most polluted city in the world, the air in Delhi is twice as much toxic than Beijing which implies that Delhi Citizens are literally breathing poison.Delhi high court also gave a scachting remark on Delhi’s pollution that the level of pollution in Delhi is such that it is like people of delhiliving in a gas chamber.


Its very necessary to take steps to improve air pollution levels in the national capital, and support has been sought from various agencies and governments.

PM2.5 (particular matter) is considered as the best indicator of the level of health risks from air pollution. It has been consistently increased 16-20 times higher in Delhi than the prescribed standard. On 29th november PM2.5 recorded 48 times higher than the limit.
PM2.5 a particles which enters into the blood stream after penetrating lungs. It causes permanent lung damage and deaths due to air pollution.

Delhi government planning to bring the idea of ‘Odd-Even Number Plate Car Policy’ from 1st November. It means that the all vehicles with plate no. ending with odd and even no. will run on alternative days.

Carpooling is a good idea to curb rising pollution:


when 2 or more people share the same automobil to commute somewhere (office ,work,e.t.c) , saving petrol and money. Carpooling is an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to travel. As people shares journeys which reduces no of vehicles also & helps in reducing carbon emissions, traffic congestion on the roads. Authorities also encourage people to go for carpooling, especially during periods of high pollution, traffic congestion or high fuel prices.

Join Greencar carpool service today. GreenCar is a NGO initiative to reduce traffic congestion and pollution on roads. Air pollution effects children's and infant’s health development. We hope that you will support this initiative.

How can we make India pollution free?

How can we make India pollution free?

Many Journalists have been asking the question : What will be Indias enviroment look like in 2020 ? Already India is one of the most polluted countries in the world? Air pollution in many Indian cities is also growing by leaps and bounds.

Increasing public transportation is the only way to solve this problem. All Indian cities should have more public transports and more importantly with hygiene. Thus makes commuters to use them effectively. Infrastructure is nearly zero here in our country
No proper integration of metro, rail and buses. We should introduce transportation for all types of class so that we could suceed.

Car pooling will also greatly help to curb air pollution. The government can pose ban on single person travelling in car in peak times and support for car pooling in major cities.

GreenCar is a free NGO initiative to reduce traffic congestion and pollution on roads. Air pollution effects children's and infant’s health development. We hope that you will support this initiative.
