And as you drive into the city you can t help but notice many other cars travelling in the same direction, and like you, there s just one person in each car.

The site is the brainchild of Peter Seymour, a Kilkenny-based consulting engineer, who himself had to endure the long commute between Kilkenny and Dublin. The website was launched last July by Minister for Public enterprise, Mary O Rourke at the Dublin Chamber of Commerce. Effectively the website acts as a bulletin board for every town and community in all counties within commuting distance of Dublin. It s just like having a noticeboard in each town where commuters can post journey and brief contact details in order to set up car pools. It works by allowing users to post journey and contact details on bulletin boards, of which there are 160, covering all the Dublin suburbs and outlying towns and villages within commuting distance of the city.
