Carpooling in Mexico

Hello everyone,

In order to move around in Mexico, you will have to spend time on the road; for your work commute, to drop your children off at school or for everyday trips. Carpooling could be the right option for you. We would like to know your views on carpooling as a means of transport, and whether it is a practical and cost-effective option.

Is carpooling and cost-sharing common practice in Mexico? What about the regulations in force?

For which types of journey does carpooling seem more suitable in Mexico? How much is the cost of a carpool trip?

Is there an app or other means available to connect people looking to carpool? How do you find other carpoolers?

If you are carpooling in Mexico, what precautions should you take to travel safely?

According to you, what are the advantages and disadvantages of carpooling?

Thank you for sharing your experience,

I would not use carpooling at this  time of my life.  I am retired and enjoy walking or taking the bus.  I do not need to consider carpooling for any of my needs.
I think it is a great option for people that maybe working.  I am not familiar with anyone who is carpooling in SMA.
