First carpooling app ZigZag Car to serve long distance

Bangladesh is getting its first ever app-based carpooling service on long distance which gained popularity across the world for supporting less carbon emission.

ZigZag Car, a carpooling platform, is nothing but sharing a car with other passengers who are travelling in the same direction. So, instead of four people driving four cars, one car can be shared with the other three people, said a press statement.

By carpooling, the passenger can take three cars out of the road. The concept is very simple, but the effect it has on reducing traffic congestion and carbon dioxide is significant.

From the Middle East to India, the online carpooling service is coming to the forefront when the green activists have been advocating for less use of cars for protecting the earth from the greenhouse effect.

Officials of the platform claimed that the service will connect the drivers and passengers on the same routes through navigating global positioning system (GPS) on its artificial intelligence-powered mobile app. The car will pick up the passenger from his location and drop him to the destination without any hassle of searching vehicles midway.
