carpool match
I would like to use Waze to match me with carpool buddies. Waze has a large community of active users, already knows my origin and destination as well as time of day that I leave for and from work. It also has all this information for people in the neighborhood.
If Wazers can indicate if they are open to carpooling, then Waze can help connect them.
There are some apps like Avego that try to help, but because they have such few users, they aren't useful.
Would you prefer to carpool if you could ?

I thought about this today and I looked to see if anyone had already suggested.
It would be amazing to reduce the number of vehicles daily -

Yes! and I like how you suggest to have it part of the actual app with a choice to op in, instead of separate like the new app they just released.

I don't necessarily want to carpool all the time, but it would be nice to be able to connect with people that share my same route in case I get in a bind - car ends up in the shop, for example. I commute 40 miles and nowhere near public transportation.

search waze suggestions for both:
° POI
° XMPPThe first to mark parking, rally points, and possibly carpool dotted line
the latter to communicate inside waze
for further interaction search
° Jingle short audio blurbs
(Jingle is with the XMPP spec)
you'll find XMPP entirely displaces sms
