I was half an hour late for work today. There was just too much traffic.
Yes, there really are too many cars on the road. More people need to carpool.
Carpool?
Yeah, you know, a group of people that ride to work together in one car.
Hey, that's a good idea. How do you join a carpool?
Well, there is a special phone number you can call. You leave a message with your address and phone number, and then someone calls you back with the names and phone numbers of other people in your area who want to carpool.
That's really a great idea! How do you know so much about this carpool system, Nancy?
Me? I called the number for the first time about five years ago. Carpooling is a great way to go to work.
