All the hot topics covered!<BR/><BR/>Picking up riders is currently a lottery (no 'star rating' or 'rider history') and even a simple system would remove much of the concern. Canada had a form of this 15 years ago with offices in cities, Craigslist (<A HREF="http://seattle.craigslist.org/rid/" REL="nofollow">rideshare</A>) is doing it informally, and startups (<A HREF="http://www.hitchsters.com/" REL="nofollow">http://www.hitchsters.com/</A>) are trying to do it better. But it remains unsolved and open.<BR/><BR/>I thought about it also but got worried about liability (either legal or moral) when something goes wrong. Example - I offer lifts on Craigslist. I have a very small accident. We all walkaway fine. 3 days later I get a letter from a lawyer claiming neck injury. It could happen. Hell you could even set it up! I offer fewer ride since I thought that through. I guess a formal system and some comprehensive insurance covers this scenario but I was just going to build a little maps-app and did not want to take it that far.<BR/><BR/>Good to hear that someone is though - I would certainly pick us someone hitching by SMS either for the planet, for cash, or for credits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385378521146016378noreply@blogger.com
