Carpooling in Brazil

well so far i have read, heard my friends saying carpooling or even using uber during certain time and places being not safe at all,  i personally would not recommend but again it all depends if you are having a regular or carpooling with people you know if you going to same locations maybe work or school etc.
waze, uber , 99 maybe used here  in brazil.

Not so many people use that mode of transport in Brazil because there are many buses,
lotação (mini buses) and Uber. And then there are motoboys (motorcycle) which are very cheap plus of course taxi. I have cars but there are times I just don´t want to drive and I use Uber for that. I go to dinner, drink some wine or beer and Uber has the slot for that.

I will add that out of the big cities not many are going to the same places to work.

Most Brazilians I know who own cars own them, at least part, specifically so that they can come and go as they please, and not have to depend on or wait for anyone else's schedule.  It's hard for carpool culture to take root where that attitude is as strong as it is here, in spite of the obvious advantages with respect to fuel cost, wear and tear, and so on.

I believe carpooling is dependent on a more civic and socially aware population then the Brazilian.

With the traffic and all, Brazilians despise going to different addresses to deliver people. And rightly so.
It might cause more accidents as they criss-cross roads in a hurry to deliver their passengers. Besides they love to show off their cars - alone of course!
