PositiveImpact The implementation of the carpooling program could contribute to a more efficient transportation system in Switzerland, leading to decreased traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions. In the long run, encouraging shared travel may foster community building and a shift towards more sustainable transport habits, potentially leading to better air quality and enhanced public health for future generations.

NegativeImpact While carpooling programs may reduce vehicle numbers, they might fail to significantly impact congestion levels due to poor app engagement or lack of public interest, resulting in wasted resources and a worse traffic situation overall. Additionally, reliance on digital systems may exclude those without access to smartphones or the internet, exacerbating inequality and potentially increasing social divides. There is a risk of minimal changes in commuting behavior if cultural aspects do not support this shift.
