Hello everyone,

In order to move around in Panama, you will have to spend time on the road; for your work commute, to drop your children off at school or for everyday trips. Carpooling could be the right option for you. We would like to know your views on carpooling as a means of transport, and whether it is a practical and cost-effective option.

Is carpooling and cost-sharing common practice in Panama? What about the regulations in force?

For which types of journey does carpooling seem more suitable in Panama? How much is the cost of a carpool trip?

Is there an app or other means available to connect people looking to carpool? How do you find other carpoolers?

If you are carpooling in Panama, what precautions should you take to travel safely?

According to you, what are the advantages and disadvantages of carpooling?

Thank you for sharing your experience,
Diksha

I really hope that in the future the car pooling start in Panama. In Europe the car pooling is a good way to share couple of hour of drive.
And you know...
Lot of care are for solo driver... traffic jam can be half or evem 1/4 if someone more share the drive.

A lot of beautiful spots in Panama are not well connected. I am here as a Tourist and Blablacar would be perfect too!
