I registered with MTS RideShare last year before the weather turned cold (since I’ve been on a scooter since 2/2007), but have yet to get a match from Charlotte Park to Vandy.

Luckily, I could always depend on my good buddy who lives in Bellevue, and works at Vandy Creative Services when the goin’ got too rough. I’m more than a mile from the nearest bus stop, and after 6 p.m., it’s more like 2.5 miles.

Glad to help! We thought the site was pretty sweet and were surprised we hadn’t heard of it before. We’re all about saving gas/money/carbon emissions any way we can.

That’s a great idea. I’ve been ridesharing (or rather, bumming rides) for the last couple of weeks and enjoy it a lot. At first, it was because my car was in the shop, but now I continue to do it as much as possible because of that whole carbon footprint thing and I enjoy the conversation with fellow employees before and after work.

I read recently that m.p.g.p.p. (miles per gallon per person) is the new m.p.g. The more we rideshare and contribute to the driver’s gas tank, $4 per gallon feels more and more like $2 per gallon.

Thanks for sharing the link.
