Abstract
The paper deals with carpooling - a system of road passenger transport, which is based on the principle of sharing seats in personal vehicle. It is very popular system in various forms in the Slovak Republic. We also describe the differences between carpooling and other related systems. It is necessary to have reliable communication channel between drivers and passengers. For this reason, we have focused on a detailed review of online booking systems. One of our goals was to compare the booking sites from the view of driver and passenger, but also analyse the data from this sites. We have also calculated the fixed and variable costs and compared them with the average returns that are shown on the booking sites. Based on the practical experience of using this system, we have developed case studies on routes between specific cities in Slovakia. These results are processed in the article. At last, we have made recommendations, which can improve the competitiveness of this system.
