Casual Carpooling

Give Casual Carpooling a Chance!

Interested in carpooling but don’t know anyone who has a car or needs a ride? Try out casual car pools, or “ad hoc car pools,” which are “informal car pools that form when drivers and passengers meet – without specific prior arrangement – at designated locations.”

Carpools leave from various locations in the East Bay and downtown San Francisco in the morning and between 3:30-7:00PM. Scroll down this page or visit the Casual Carpool website for more information about pick up and drop off locations.
