In US urban areas automobiles driven to and from work experience severe road congestion, yet possess considerable unutilized people-moving capacity (in the form of empty seats) that could help relieve the congestion. This paper explores the possibility of harnessing this capacity through the use of a computer in each urban area that matches riders and drivers in real-time and is accessed by lightweight pocket-sized wireless telephones. Such a system would provide much greater convenience and flexibility than ridesharing that uses land-line phones to arrange for rides/riders and that requires a rigid commitment to departure times.
