Loki:
How prevalent are prearranged hitchhiking rides in the states? I.e. you announce somewhere (e.g. a website) that on $date, you will be going to $place and have space for $number of people going in the same direction. Then you take them along and split gas money.
jwhouk:
Milwaukee Metro area to Phoenix area. Two nights. Oh God.
Zwammy:
I've driven from Louisiana to Michigan several times, and from NC to Arizona a couple of times. As long as I'm involved in driving and have a say in when to stop for breaks I'm ok. No bus rides, thank goodness. Plenty of air travel from place to place, too. No thanks to a bus ride.
Carl-E:
Loki, ride boards are a thing at a lot of colleges - at least, they used to be when I was back in school (Oh god, that was in the 80's). Some requests were for weekends, most were for breaks (spring, winter or thanksgiving). Usually for the end of the year you needed to haul all your stuff, too, so a ride wasn't usually an option. Parents with a large vehicle / U-haul were the usual result.
Personally, I had an old VW bus. :-D
Method of Madness:
I'm pretty sure you can do ride shares on Craigslist.
