www.twoshare.co.uk is open to anyone who lives or works in Herefordshire and the choice is totally up to them. All people have to do is register and put in their journeys and which days of the week they travel.
People choose how many days they want to share, occasional, regular or a complete one-off. A search on the site will show who can offer sharing on these journeys.
Results show the sharer’s first name so people will know if they are male or female and will also show whether they are a smoker or non-smoker.
If a suitable match is found, people need to make contact with your potential car sharer. It is suggested people choose a neutral, public place to meet up and discuss how a sharing arrangement will work.
No contracts have to be signed and if it doesn’t work out or people change jobs and journey route, they can cancel this twoshare arrangement and start looking for another person to share with instead.
The map of current twoshare members shows that wherever people live in the county, there is a good chance of finding someone to share their journey. In addition, there are already many members who commute from neighbouring counties into Herefordshire.
If everyone who travelled to work each day on their own were to catch a lift just once a week, the commuting car journeys throughout the county would be reduced by 20 per cent, leading to a significant reduction in congestion.
Cars produce 10 per cent of the UK’s greenhouse emissions so every journey saved will cut pollution, helping to save the planet from climate change.
