There is an outfit based in Western Mass called ridebuzz.org that does just that, Christian. However, it's been very underutilized and hasn't reached critical mass. I haven't checked in a while, but I did once succeed in getting a ride through it. I've offered a few times, but usually pretty last-minute and have not found any riders through the service. _________________________________________________ Watch (and please share) my TEDx Talk, "Impossible is a Dare: Business for a Better World" *http://www.business-for-a-better-world.com/tedtalks/ <http://www.business-for-a-better-world.com/tedtalks/>* Shel Horowitz - Green Business Profitability Expert Helping you find the value in your values since 1981 - because green isn't just good for the planet--it's *great* for your bottom line Contact me to reach green, socially conscious consumers with marketing that has THEM calling YOU" Twitter: @shelhorowitz * First business ever to be Green America Gold Certified * Inducted into the National Environmental Hall of Fame http://business-for-a-better-world.com * http://greenandprofitable.com/ mailto:shel at greenandprofitable.com * 413-586-2388 Latest award-winning, best-selling (8th) book: Guerrilla Marketing Goes Green (co-authored with Jay Conrad Levinson) Blog: http://greenandprofitable.com/shels-blog _________________________________________________ On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 10:27 PM, Christian Lagier < christian at tippingpointprojects.com> wrote: > > > > > I've used Uber when traveling to other locations.
