Carpool
含义: To share a car ride with others going to the same destination, splitting the driving or just riding together.
Carpooling is deeply embedded in American suburban life, where distances make solo driving expensive and inefficient. Parents carpool kids to school and activities, coworkers carpool to the office, and HOV lanes on highways reward carpoolers with faster commutes. It can be a verb (to carpool) or a noun (the carpool).
