Developed by Vishva Mohan, an officer-on -special-duty in Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), 'Pan-City Mega Car Pool' -- as he calls it, proposes to do away with the inherent problems of the conventional car pool system with the use of modern technology .

"The scheme proposes to cover lakhs of city cars under one 'mega' carpool system. Any mega carpool member can avail ride from any member and return the ride, not necessarily to the same member from whom the ride was availed. This is in sharp contrast to conventional carpools, which have 3-4 members exchanging rides on a rotational basis," said Mohan.

The scheme, said Mohan, has already been proposed to the state government for implementation.

"We have received the proposal. We want this scheme to be first presented to the group of secretaries for an intellectual discussion," Delhi chief secretary Rakesh Mehta said.

According to Mohan, interested car owners will be enrolled as members under this scheme. They will be issued a smart card-based photo ID, which also works as a credit/debit card to record mileage points (described later), which the car owners will earn by giving rides to other people.
