Who’s going to build a hitchhiking app?
Gasoline is expensive. Public transportation services are sketchy. Hitchhiking is illegal.
On the other hand:
Carpooling is legal. Ride sharing is responsible. Social media channels connect people.
Why not connect with people who are headed where you’re going?
Why not let social media hook hikers up with drivers — and drivers up with hikers?
Think of FourSquare meets Yelp, but for hitchhiking and carpooling. Think of badges like
Keep it safe. Rate your ride. Let people know who you’re riding with and where you’re going. Help build a safe ridesharing community.
Now — who’s going build the app? Because I’d use it. And I’d help market it. That’s my high concept pitch.

- Safe Driver - 10+ trips with 10 different positive passenger ratings
- Great Entertainer - 10+ trips with 10 different positive passenger ratings
- Local Yocal -10+ trips within 50 miles
- Outta Towner - 10+ trips over 50 miles
- Rat Racer - 10+ trips to the same location within 3 months
- The DD — 10+ people tagged you with #DD because you didn’t drink
