MiniCabs almost as cheap as buses when shared

Aug 23

sharing is caring for nature

Together we can save the environment and minimise the carbon footprint. One of the latest good initiates helping the environment is London cabs sharing solution. Instead of 40 000 active cabs in London, we could make it 1/3 if more people shared cabs. Prices can go down heavily if 3 people share a cab; in reality it might be almost the same fare as a bus ride for some journeys. However, the minicabs sharing will obvious be quicker than normal bus rides.

How to promote cab sharing?

A good way to get started with shared transport is by putting up sticky-notes on the fridge and other places at work. You can of course also email collegues and friends and check if they want to share a minicab with you. Alternatively, call the cab company and make it a surprise who you meet.

So when is a good time to split the transport? Especially longer transports, such as London to Gatwick, Heathrow or nearby university transfers might be the best options.

Safety

your child couldn’t be safer as they are all provided with bright green luminous jackets so it will be a bit of a challenge for your child to get lost. Also a number of parents and even you are involved in walking the children to and from the school.

Social

It is a good time for children and parents to socialise with each over whilst they are walking to the school. It great time for parents to come together and sare interest that they have with the there children and with the school.
