When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £34.85 (£69.7 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £23.23 per passenger (£69.7 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £17.43 per passenger (£69.7 divided by 4).
