PositiveImpact The successful implementation of carpooling programs may lead to a significant reduction in the number of vehicles on the A1 motorway, thereby contributing to better air quality in Swiss cities and reducing health-related issues stemming from air pollution. It could also foster a culture of shared mobility, creating a network of informal social connections among commuters and potentially impacting their travel behaviors over generations, leading to long-term reductions in vehicle dependency.

NegativeImpact However, reliance on carpooling alone may not yield sustained or significant reductions in air pollution, as it depends on public buy-in and participation rates. If the app-based platform fails to attract users consistently, it could lead to ongoing congestion and pollution. Also, any negative perceptions of carpooling (e.g., inconvenience or low reliability) could hinder its effectiveness, ultimately leaving future generations vulnerable to continued air pollution problems.
