message: Carpooling (and van pooling, bus pooling, hitchhiking, digit hitchhiking et all) are all sub-classes of what we call ride-sharing. It would be important for the WP as a first source of reference for many to get this right. Can someone here take care of this? (I for the moment have a bit of a time problem. Sorry.) ericbritton 06:12, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

message: High cost of labour is mentioned as one of the disadvantages, but there isn't any labour cost, is there? I thought that was actually the big advantage of carpooling over public transportation. In public transportation ther is always one occupant who doesn't want to go to whatever the destination is, who needs to be paid for his service (the driver, in case you hadn't guessed :) ). But with carpooling the driver also wants to go there, so doesn't need to get paid for it. All one pays for is the use of the car. And with, say, taxis, the driver constitutes almost all of the cost (that's why taxis are always expensive brandnew cars - even then that is just a tiny bit of the cost, so they might as well). Or do I seriously misunderstand something here? DirkvdM 18:14, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I copied the out the list from the Share taxi site, which I thought looked good.  The postition didn't come out quite right and of course we need more people to contribute their local terms.
Unless you can come up with a better text, kindly leave something in (This is the third time I tried and I'm paying by the minute over here!)  Carpooling is known by many different names around the world and not everyone might suspect their HR department arranges it or their works council.  We were sure glad sometimes to find out eventually.  (Interns and students aren't swimming in money, as you know. Someone else might find this info useful.)
:Again, please explain why the text isn't A: wholly redundant, B: original research, and C: necessary. Unless foreign language terminology is relevant to the etymology of the English language word, mention is generally limited to the Wikipedia:Interlanguage, per the edit summary on my first revert. If you'd like to explore the etymology of various English-language terms on the En wiki, great, but the chart with more than a half-dozen blank entries and the conversion of a http link to "htp" are hardly productive. Also, again, please avoid adding uncited original research to this encyclopedia, especially to an article already struggling with a lack of citations and clearly sourced assertions of notability and relevance, although that could plainly be added.

replies: text: Again, the Interlanguage links are standard operating procedure throughout the wiki. Please limit your discussion of foreign language topics to those that have a clear relevance outside of that language/in the English-language wiki. The statement "HOV lanes I've so far only encountered in the US" raises issues with Wikipedia:Original research. Another editor asserted, with the more general language, that the HOV lanes may or may not be used in other countries as well. To remove that assertion would be kosher, barring a source, but to replace it with the implicit assertion that they are wholly and completely limited to the United States raises the same issue.

thread_title:  Carpooling around the world 

message: I believe there is a major difference between car pool and ride share:
A carpool normally contains people to go to THE SAME place e.g. work or university and they go regularily in one car. But usually each time they go, there are the same people but this week I drive, next week you drive. Usually no money exchange.
A ride share normally is ONE driver who goes to different places and sells free seats in his car. Here passengers change regularly and pay a to-be-determined price.
Therefore I propose that two articles are created. One called carpool and one ride share. In both cases they need major rework.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Demmelhuber (talk • contribs) 12:53, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Car Pools 

message: In the UK the term car-sharing is used instead of car pooling. I have produced an article on the topic of car-sharing and would like to post it online so that UK users are able to be find the relevant info. Are there any suggestions of how this could be done? 
I have already asked for some feedback and the use of hat notes and disambiguation links have been put forward. These seem like a good way forward. Moving the articles was another solution to help resolve the ambiguity of the article called carpool. although it was suggested I write this on the discussion page to get some further opinions on the matter. Any guidance would be great, thanks Car-share10 (talk) 11:42, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The first line of the article says 'also known as car-sharing', that is sufficient. We should not have two articles on the same concept just because of slight language differences between US and UK english. - MrOllie (talk) 15:35, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Carpool article not easily accessible for UK users 

message: I don’t think it would be detrimental to the current article highlighting the fact that different nations use different terminology for the same things. Like boot and trunk, or sidewalk and pavement for example. Perhaps a small edit to the first line or so would be the most appropriate place as it would be immediately clear. I think such an edit would actually be advantageous and not a hindrance to the page.Car-share10 (talk) 14:46, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think everyone (should) already know that different nations use different terminology for the same things, that is why the first line of the article lists different terms that are used. We've already got five there, I think tagging each with a country would clutter up the opening too much. - MrOllie (talk) 15:06, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
