Ontario discourages carpooling

Caving in to the corporate interests that control bus service (and probably to the municipal authorities who don't want urban bus revenue to decline). Details at the link...

The only way you can ride with someone is if you meet ALL of the following extremely impractical set of specific criteria:

* You must travel from home to work only – (Not home to School, or home to the hospital or the airport)
* You cannot cross municipal boundaries – (Live outside the city and drive in – sorry you cannot share the ride with your neighbour)
* You must ride with the same driver each day – (Want to go with one person one day and another person another day – no sorry cannot do that...)
* You must pay the driver no more frequently than weekly – (Neighbour drives you to work better not pay her right away just in case she drives you later on in the week)
