Create a safe, licensed, easy carpooling system.
Create a system where people can become registered carpool hosts for free, they would need to be screened (police record check?) and validated, and display the license in the front window. Set up stations in the city, like bus stations, that say (for example; South Surrey Park and Ride) where people could wait for a carpooler. There could be a small charge as incentive for the driver ($2 per person each way would help a lot with daily parking).
I have often driven by a line up of bus users, and thought about how much money I could earn by picking up 3 people each way, ($12 per day = about $240 per month) plus get to use the carpool lane.
