A dream of Green and Clean Delhi

Current SituationHigh High Pollution Pollution High TrafficHigh TrafficLong driving Long driving

hours…hours…High fuel High fuel costcost

Traffic in Delhi is increasing at speed of 30,000 New vehicles Per Month

Normal vehicle has a fuel efficiency of 10 KM/L.

If a car runs 50 km/day, it consumes 150 L fuel/month and will produce 5000 Kg CO2 in one year.

An average mature tree can absorb about 4.5 kg carbon dioxide per year.

Thus , we need 1200 mature trees for absorbing CO2

emitted by

ONE CAR

And 3.6 Crore new trees per month to cover 30,000 new cars

At a speed of increasing traffic at the rate of 3 Lakh 60 thousand

cars per year

Delhi alone need 43 Crore 20 Lakh trees every year to remain at present condition of

Pollution

Govt. is doing great job by making flyovers and widening roads

But

Can govt. make unlimited flyovers?

There is a limit to widening roads too

Think of condition of traffic when cheap cars like Nano will be

launched.

1:- % of people having car will increase.

2:- Number of car’s per family will increase.

Source of TrafficPopulation of Delhi can be divided into 3 categories

Lower Class Middle Class

Higher Class1:-These people can

not afford Car

2:-Make maximum use of Public transport

3:- Use cycles or walking

4:- These are 25% of total population

1:-These people are working in IT companies on higher salaries

2:-These can even afford loan for car

3:-They even travel in public transport

4:- These are 65% of total population

1:-These people are working in IT companies on higher salaries

2:-These can even afford multiple cars at home

3:-Most of people drive alone in car

4:- These are 10% of total population

We have to target middle class first Which is 65% of traffic

contributors

Characteristics of Middle classBiggest Traffic Contributor

1:-These people are salaried people

2:-They are very much worried about fuel price hike

3:-They have taken loans to buy a car

4:-They are willing to save money by any means if offered

5:-They are biggest contributor of the traffic.

6:-They can make a big difference in traffic condition if given some profitable solution.

7:- Most of them work in call centers and IT companies on very high salaries

If we offer them a cost effective solution for saving petrol without compromising there standard they will definitely acceptBut the question is…. what solution

can be offered to them?

I have come up with a solution… Its car pooling solution… Its not something new and even people did not like it in past…

Why people did not like car pooling??There were many reasons for that. I spoke to many people and got same answers as expected.

1:- Security concern… I don’t want to pool with stranger

2:- I don’t know about car pooling concept

3:- I prefer to pool with people of my company only

4:- Most important… how can we find a right pool partner.

I did a lot of research on this…

I understood mentality and expectations of people..

I found that finding a carpool partner is just like finding a life partner.

People have lot of expectation from the person they are willing to pool.

People have choice like pooling with non smokers , or with females only. Some people have timing issues too.

Keeping all these points in mind , I designed a solution.

It’s a “CORPORATE” carpooling website

This word “Corporate” actually solved maximum issues

This website acts like a internal corporate car pooling website for all companies who are

getting registered.

People of same company can find each other and pool together. They do have options to find

non smokers , male/females, travel days and timings etc

The name of website is

www.poolmycar.in

I launched this website on 15th Aug 2008

Within 2 months of its launched , I got more than 12,000 users registered on

website

Today thousands pools are available on website and still increasing everyday

My website has successfully reduced more than 25,000 cars from roads of Delhi in a

short time span of 2 months

99% companies in Delhi still don’t know about this website

If all companies are informed about this service, we can reduce millions of cars from

the road

Each one car pooled actually reduce 4 cars of the roads

So pooling of 1000 cars will reduce 4000 cars

So pooling of 1000 cars will actually reduce 4000 cars off the road

Another most important fact is:-

Each 1000 cars pooled will save

1200000 ( 12 Lakh) Trees

My Contribution to Delhi

By reducing 25,000 cars of the roads in 2 months…

www.Poolmycar.in has actually grown300,00,000 ( 3 Crore ) Trees

I am sure If Govt , Delhi Police and Poolmycar.in

join hands

We can control 75% of middle class traffic

population

And make our Delhi Green
