Ridin’ solo? There’s a better way to commute. Grab two or more of your besties (or family members, or coworkers) and reap the benefits of vanpooling . King County Metro’s rideshare option includes everything you need for your commute in one monthly fare — the van, gas, tolls, insurance, maintenance, and more .
Here’s how vanpooling can transform your commute:
- Save on… everything. Whether commuting three days a week or seven, vanpooling saves time, money, and the environment (think: being able to use carpool lanes, contributing to fewer cars on the road, and not paying for gas + tolls).
- Pick your driver. Lessen stress by sharing driving responsibilities.
- Decrease car wear and tear. Did you catch that? The van is included. Read: Keep your car in your driveway and save on car maintenance (and insurance).
- Play “I can in a van.” Take the passenger seat and catch up on reading, emails, shopping, or that game you can’t stop playing.
- Ride with friends (or make new ones). Commute with a consistent group of friends who have a similar commute — or join an existing vanpool . See how it works.*
