@Likeradar that is a bad story. okay. and im sure bad things happen off rideshares, but i think the overwhelming majority of them are good.
if you take a bus, it can wreck, a plane can crash, a train can derail, and somebody can kill you on any of those or fly you into a building. but its really unlikely.
and, also, if you dont have any money to give the person, put that in your ad. i’ve seen a lot of rideshare ads where a person will say that they don’t have anything to contribute except good music or good company or whatever, and i bet some of those people get rides. especially if its not a long distance. if the person is going that way anyhow, maybe they wont care.
