How I Got my FREE Parking in Ortigas

It's simple. I just carpool to/from work.
I pass by my usual route, and leave at my usual time.
The only difference is I let someone else join my ride, instead of driving alone.

The closest parking area near my office has a max rate of P150


I have 1 passenger in the morning (P50).
The same passenger also joined me that same evening together with her friend. (P100)


And that is how I got to park for FREE in Ortigas.

I don't always bring my car to work.
My carpool driver was on leave that day, so I decided to bring my car and be the driver this time. 
It was also lucky that I got a good match. Our home/work location are close to each other.
And we have the same schedule that day.

Matching of drivers and passengers in Wunder still needs a lot of improvement.
Most of the suggested passengers are a bit far from my usual route.
But if maybe more people register and use the app, we can have better match in the future.

If you drive to work everyday and spend as much in parking, try carpooling.

It could be: P150 x 5 = 750 a week savings!
And you get to help your community and the environment.

Because sometimes, small changes can produce great impact. :)
