______
Boost your carpoolability
Buff up on current events
News headlines are great conversation starters. Your awareness of what's current will come in handy during the long tunnel ride, when the radio cuts out.
Discuss costs up front
Generosity is king of the carpool lane. Make sure there's no miscommunication regarding gas money, toll money, etc.
Cut back on cologne or perfume consumption
A little splash goes a long way. Consider your fellow riders' proximity, and closely monitor how many windows are open. If it's way too cold/hot for that many open windows, it may be time to recalibrate your scent's potency.
Be on time, all the time
It's one thing to wait at the doctor's office, but it's quite another to wait outside your door. You'll be a welcome addition to any carpool when the driver knows you'll be ready to go, like clockwork.
