It happens only in Mumbai. Even as the recession shows vague signs of ebbing, Mumbaikars are getting smarter with money and inadvertently, more eco-friendly.
Commuters, who use cool cabs between work and home, can now sign up for a cab pool service with City Cool Cab, the first AC cabs in Mumbai.

The company will then find others with a time and destination match.
Vijay Agunde, proprietor, City Cool Cab, said, "We have been collecting the database for over six months and have around 300 registrations.
However, there's a problem with coordinating the time as people don't like to wait for a pick up. We will be dedicating five cabs for the pool on a trial basis."

Added Agunde, "You would pay Rs 300 by the meter for travelling alone from Bandra to Nariman Point,
but on pooling, this amount is split between the passengers."
