Carpooling the German way: German commuters connect with each other on a website called Mitfahrgelegenheit to find carpools.
In a parking lot outside of Munich’s main train station, Lars Biederstedt meets the people he’ll spend the next five to six hours with. Biederstedt drives from Munich (where he works) to Berlin (where his parents live) almost every weekend.
Biederstedt never drives to Berlin alone. Instead, he offers seats in his van through the Mitfahrgelegenheit site, one of those wonderfully rich German words that means, essentially, “a lift.”
The site is run by a German company called Carpooling.com, which hopes to provide its services in America.
Three dead in 52 vehicle pile-up on German motorway
An aerial view showing wrecked cars and trucks after a multiple vehicle accident on A1 freeway near Cloppenburg, Germany, on Jan. 20. The crash which involved 52 vehicles happened on Friday night near the city of Muenster after fog settled over the stretch of autobahn 31 creating visibilty of just one metre.
Police are trying to establish if the bad weather is the only factor that triggered the huge accident which closed a 6 mile-long section of the motorway on Saturday.
Hundreds of emergency workers have been drafted to the scene with dozens of injured transported to nearby hospitals.
