English term or phrase: Carpooling
Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car.

If a person is going from one city to another, a second person can join them. This would be called carpooling.

By having more people using one vehicle, carpooling reduces each person's travel costs such as fuel costs, tolls, and the stress of driving. Carpooling is also seen as a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way to travel as sharing journeys reduces carbon emissions, traffic congestion on the roads, and the need for parking spaces.

Albanian translation:transport i përbashkët
Explanation:
This is the term found in paper and online dictionaries, but it may not always fit in sentences; not as a verb, at least. In this case, other alternatives could be used such as:

udhëtoj bashkërisht

or

ndaj udhëtimin/transportin bashkërisht

The use of verbs, however, needs to change according to proper conjugation.

agree  Fabiana Papastefani-Pezzoni: This is actually the right term, on my opinion. Just as an example, kids from 4-5 families in our blick go to same school, so we have organized carpoolingamongs parents, instead of 5 cars driving to school with 1-2 kids/car.

Bashkudhëtimi (me makinë)


Explanation:
I would use just "Bashkudhëtimi" if it is a list item or category name but if the term "car" is important than it would be better to use "Bashkudhëtimi me makinë".

neutral  Fabiana Papastefani-Pezzoni: Hi Juliana, at times it may be the case, but to enter this term for carpooling its not always the case. We may be bashkudhetare andnot carpooling at all.

  -> Fabiana, I see it as an simple action, without the reason why this action is done. To share a journey with others means to be "bashkudhëtarë" :-)

neutral  Iliana2010: Jam plotësisht dakord me Fabianën

  -> Shih shpjegimin që i dhashë Fabianës :-)
