Lots of people generally have the potential to carpool between 7AM and 5:30PM. There's enough people traveling to and from downtown to indicate as such, and this number seems to be growing with the amount of people that are moving to the city.
I don't think personal schedules matter as much as you think they do; for the most part, most people commute to and from work at generally the same time.
Here's an idea - you could have the driver show up at a certain meet point at a certain time, and whoever is there gets a ride. Otherwise, you'll have to arrange another ride or take transit if you can. This means that if you have a flex day or alternative work schedule, you won't be missed at the meet point for that specific day.
