RideShare/Winter2007

Here is a page for finding a RideShare? to the airport for the upcoming break.

• SeaKing? Ride: Look at the Cars Going table, and see if any of them fit your schedule (if they're a little late, ask them anyway; they might be able to bump up; and if they're a little early, decide the value of your time vs. cab fare....). If they do, email the driver and see if you can get in that car; once such has been arranged, one of you should add your name to that list. If there are no cars going at the appropriate time, go ahead and add yourself to the 'looking' table and check back often.

• Driver: If you have space in a car going to one of these destinations, go ahead and add yourself to the Cars Going table with the appropriate information. Then check around for folks on the Rides Desired table who might want a ride from you.
  • Hint: Your car will not hold 5 people + luggage, unless those people really really like each other (and their luggage). In a standard car, Driver + 3 with luggage is cramped, but doable. Driver + 2 w/luggage is easy.
    • X-ray vision helps too, if you have a hatchback -- the luggage tends to occupy your rear-view mirror.
    • In my car, 5 people with luggage is actually manageable. Especially if people have carry-on things that can sit with them. In general, I'm not expecting people to do the 2 checked bags and a large carryon. -- PhilMiller

• Destination not listed?: Never fear, just go to RichardBowen/RideShareTemplate and copy over the SINGLE TABLE TEMPLATE (from the source or it might break), replacing "DESTINATION" with your destination.

• In any event, check back occasionally and keep the page current.

LAX (Approximate transit time is: 1 hr without traffic....)

• FYI, if you need to get to LAX, you can get there by taking the Metrolink from the village to Union Station, and then taking the Flyaway bus the rest of the way. It's reasonably cheap, if it works with your schedule.
  • This is a delicious trap. It will (probably) work, but be *very* careful to allow enough time.
