While the metro system is a strong choice and owning your own car is sometimes a necessity, there are also times when you could use a car but don’t have one in Madrid. A way to improve your mobility while not wasting energy is with amovens.com, a new site for coordinating carpool groups. The site works for both those who want to save money as car-owners by taking other people in their cars, as well as those who would like to either eliminate an unneeded car or who just need a ride. Those who have cars place an ad on amovens.com saying what route they take to work, giving some main stops that would possibly be along the way and give a price for sharing that trip with them. Those who don’t have cars can respond to any advertisement they wish, or place their own to see if drivers might be able to come get them. The registration is free on the website and only takes two minutes. The site emphasizes that coordination like this is more ecologically-friendly than driving your own car to work every day and gives you more freedom than available public transit. Consider amovens.com for going to work, travelling to another city, going to a festival, or going to football matches.

Yeah! I can really affirm that not only in Madrid but all around Spain Carpooling is becoming very popular. Although Madrid Public Transport Network is a very good one, the option to get door-to-door is a real need for many users as they prefer spending less time and money on their way. Specially getting to University or to Big Working Areas nearby the city. Times are rough for Spanish people now. So Carpooling is a very useful service nowadays: Comuto.es, Blablacar.com, Compartecoche.org, etc. There are many users to contact on the web to make travelling easier. Don’t hesitate, get on the vibe!
Hello Sylvia,I agree with you.Apart from saving money on fuel…its great for the environment and produces less traffic jams!The previous Spanish government missed the mark when they reduced the speed limit from 120km/h to 110km/h to counter fuel demand and consequently rising fuel prices.They should have, instead, incentivised carpools!
