i have been using rideshare among other cl sections for years for all parts of my life buying,selling,free shit, jobs, apartments & I am on cl every day for a few hours posting & searching when i can where ever i am(first thing once i roll into an area). The trick to craigslist is communicating promptly,honestly & efficiently(cell phone is best but having it link to an email helps since every now & then myself or others will screw up a digit in the phone #). I gave a kid a ride to nyc from boston about tens years ago supposebly forgas/toll contribution only to get to nyc for him to say he was broke. Asshole move since we would have gave him a ride with or without the contribution, but if he was honest everyone could have left the interaction with a good feeling. We were driving to Panama city beach Fla & were low on funds too & went out of way to pick & drop him.
