Albania is undergoing rapid urbanization, this means that not only that more people than ever before will be living and working in cities, but also that more people and goods will be making more and longer trips in urban areas. The costs of increasing dependence on cars is resulting in expensive road building and maintenance, congested roads, high levels of energy consumption along with its economic and environmental costs, traffic accidents and social inequities. The most widely used mode of conveyance of public transport in Tirana city are buses. as a spinal column of the transportation system. In spite of this, it does not receive any preferential treatment in terms of traffic management, dedicated lanes, and better upkeep/ maintenance of vehicles resulting in that common man who can afford even slightly is shifting from buses to their own vehicles. It may be two-wheelers or four wheelers or even bicycles, because of which, the number of vehicles on the roads are increasing which is leading to further lowering of speed, congestion, increase in pollution level etc. Several strategies are indispensable for combatting such problems, including reducing emissions per vehicle kilometer traveled and the total number of kilometers traveled. Road congestion may be reduced by the use of good public transport management, traffic management and car pools etc. This paper has done a survey based on a structured questionnaire for carpooling. By the analysis of the data collected, we found that if there is no carpooling applied in the city. The aim of the paper consists in proposing a model for reducing the fuel consumption and making the first step for lowering the traffic congestion in the Tirana City.
