Story: We have a lot of funny and great stories, but our favorite vanpool story is about how two of our riders, working at different companies never met before they started vanpooling. They developed a friendship and that grew into romance, then love. They just got married this past May. The vanpool was responsible for them meeting each other, and they eve put a little vanpool van on their wedding cake.
