154	<h3>What is CarpoolWorld?</h3><br/><br/>
155	
156	<p>CarpoolWorld is an Internet web site that provides on-line real-time trip-matching services. Users enter the street addresses of their origins (homes) and destinations (places of work), and the system shows them a list and map of similar trips from other users. The users contact each other by phone or e-mail to make ride-sharing arrangements. The service is designed for regular commuters as well as for occasional travelers.</p>
157	<p>CarpoolWorld provides an unlimited free world-wide trip matching service for individual public use.</p>
158	<p>CarpoolWorld also provides group services for any business, municipality, school, or other institution that wishes to co-brand and administer its own carpool matching web site. CarpoolWorld offers basic groups with basic features, standard and premium groups with advanced features to manage a comprehensive carpooling program.</p>
