Secondly, it is a practical way for each carpooler to reduce the huge paying burden of driving respectively （各自地）. Thirdly, carpoolers can get to their destinations more quickly than before because there will be few traffic jams with few cars on the way.

For example, an agreement is signed before carpooling to ensure safety and clarify obligations.
