For commuters, there are several benefits to participating in a MetroPool program. From reading during your commute to catching up on sleep, you'll find your ride to be more relaxing and less stressful.
"My commute is one hour each way and that really gets to be a grind when you’re doing it alone day in and day out. It’s also very expensive when you’re putting more than 100 miles on your car every day. I really like meeting new people and interacting with them and I have formed a very nice friendship with my carpool partner. We signed up for a yoga class after work together, which is great since we’re ready to leave at the same time. For me, carpooling is a huge relief from the stress of driving alone."
