{{ridesurf}} '''Rideshares''' or '''Ride sharing''' or '''Carpooling''' or '''Ridesurfing''' (not to be confused with [[CarSharing]]) is simply people cosolidating automobile trips by riding in one car, usually using a message board either real or online. This differs from [[Tips for hitchhikers|hitchhiking]] in that the people involved coordinate the ride before-hand agreeing when and where to meet and how to share the costs. Ridesharing is safe and both cheaper and more environmentally friendly than riding alone. Rideshares are most practical on trips between large cities. There is a proposal for adding a feature called [[Ridesurf|Ridesurfing]] in CouchSurfing. Check it out! ==Resources by Country/Region== See [[Survey of CarPooling services]] ==RideSurfing on CouchSurfing.com== The CouchSurfing system may be exploited to allow people to coordinate ride sharing. There is a proposal for adding a [[Ridesurf|Ridesurfing]] in CouchSurfing, help in making it real if you like. There is also a [[:csgroup:658|ride sharing group]] for this purpose but a more sophisticated system is possible. In the future it could even be combined with GPS, cellphones and always-on internet in order to have a more organized way of [[Tips for hitchhikers|hitchhiking]]. ===Comments=== {{stub}} [[Category:Travel]] [[Category:Free]] [[Category:Transport]] [[Category:Tech]]
