[Hidden-tech] Rideshare service with traction in this area?

[Michael Muller]

Interesting story. Way back in 2008 I helped create a website called 
ZipRide.com, which the owner paid several hundred dollars for the domain 
name and several thousand for the coding. It ran for about a year with 
moderate success, then she sold it. The buyer let the domain name lay 
dormant, pointing to nothing for years, then let it expire. What a waste.

Here's a sort-of snapshot from November 1, 2008, via Archive.org. 
Obviously the CSS isn't linking up.

At the time some people complained that there was a perfectly 
serviceable website based in Amherst for ride sharing, and lo and behold 
it appears to still be up and running...

So, there you go.
