Hitching A Ride

On those long cross country rides, some of us may hope to pick up a hitchhiker, or hitchhikeress. Seems to be a dying breed though. An app will fill that gaping void. SideCar, an on-demand ride-sharing app, lets users request a ride by indicating where they would like to be picked up and dropped off",  Reuters says.The app of San Francisco-based SideCar matches riders with drivers. The passenger can pay the driver, or not. Payment is optional. It's more a social thing anyway.  "It's fascinating the people you meet, and a lot of people are drawn to it for that reason," says   Blake Wirht, marketing director of SideCar. "But there are a lot of people that drive for SideCar to offset their costs of vehicle ownership."
