I'm glad to hear ridebuzz is still around. Last time I tried to use it, the site was down in a way that made me think it was defunct. If you're not affiliated with UMass, the URL is http://www.ridebuzz.org/ . I've offered a few rides through the service, but usually too last-minute. I did get a rider to Boston once, and that worked out well. Probably easier to use for ongoing commuting.
