Part of her experiment was to move out of her social network. And carpooling doesn't work unless you know other people who also needs to move from point A to point B at time C. She didn't know such people.

Besides, she worked as an hourly employee which meant that she, as most hourly workers, didn't have a fixed schedule but would receive one on a weekly basis from her manager. Making car pooling even harder.
