Ride a private mini-bus -- join a vanpool

I dumped the pump for a vanpool. Every day I get picked up at K-Mart in Acton and ride to Wyeth, in Cambridge.

It not only saves money, but also saves time. And we make friends by vanpooling. I've been vanpooling five days a week since August 2006 when a group of us from Wyeth and some other companies gathered together and formed a vanpool group.

BLOGGER'S NOTE: A group of commuters privately lease a van, and qualified volunteers from the vanpool take turns driving. The vanpool agrees upon a schedule, rules and a route, then share expenses and commute together.
