Vanpool rider since March 2022

"It was one of the easiest things I’ve ever done, signing up for (the vanpool program)...
On top of it all, if you get lucky enough, your employer may have an incentive program where they pay, in my case 75% of (the vanpool fee), so it's dirt cheap to take the vanpool."
