This is how you can start your lift club with friends or colleagues:
1. Find fellow colleagues and friends to join
You can easily find some of your friends and colleagues who are in a similar predicament battling the petrol price. Driving with people you know is way better than with strangers you aren't familiar with.
Since we are all in WhatsApp groups at the moment, just try pitch in the group if it's appropriate. You could also share this on the work's notice boards if you have any.
Neighbourhood Facebook groups are also the way to go.
