Could you explain Community Carpool in the simplest possible way? What happens from the moment somebody opens the website?
Anvit YelamanchiliGUEST
So Community Carpool is a website for people to connect with each other in similar communities.
Anvit YelamanchiliGUEST
So if I'm going to school and I live in, let's say, Arabian ranches, the website will help me find other people that go to my school or a school in the nearby area who also live in Arabian ranches.
Anvit YelamanchiliGUEST
So when you go on the website, communitycarpool.org, it asks you for some basic information, so your first name and then your email, which we use just to contact you, and then a rough approximation of where you live.
Anvit YelamanchiliGUEST
So we purposely ask that you do not give us any sensitive information like your villa number.

And then you input how far you're willing to meet someone, like how far they need to be to you.
