What is a Carpool?

[AngelinaFitz]

The essence of carpooling is picking up one or two passengers along the driver's route, with passengers getting on and off between the driver's starting and ending points. Carpooling is not classified as ride-hailing and does not require relevant permits, but it must meet the following four prerequisites: 1. Fixed driver route: The driver's own travel needs should be the premise, and the pre-published travel information should be followed. In simple terms, the driver cannot change their route arbitrarily to make money. 2. Matching travel routes: Only those with matching routes should choose to share the ride, and neither the driver nor the passenger should alter their routes for profit. 3. Non-profit purpose: Passengers and drivers share part of the travel costs or provide free mutual assistance. 4. Frequency limit: There is a certain daily limit on the number of shared rides per vehicle. After all, carpooling does not 'belong' to the ride-hailing category, indicating it is not for 'profit' but follows the original intention of carpooling: primarily to share travel costs.
