I've always noticed that people on the la.* and ba.* and ca.* newsgroups
are travelling between LA and SF, and are asking for driving partners,
looking for rides, looking for movers, etc.

For a multitude of reasons, many people drive from city to distant city
(or town to town) in California.  Some of these people wish to share the
drive/gas/ time/emissions with others.  There should be a newsgroup where
people can quickly find drivers/passengers to share the ride.  What does
everyone think?


-----Some personal comments------
This group would be useful to business travelers, students, commuters, and
recreational travellers.  It would help to reduce traffic yet increase
travel between different cities in California (and beyond, perhaps).  It
would bring people into contact with one another.  It would save some
people hundreds of dollars each year.

Why should this be a separate group?  Because the group would act as a
database for travellers.  The traveller could check the group without
having to wade through hundreds of irrelevant articles.  Also, if similar
groups are started in other states, one could post interstate travel
information by crossposting to only two groups.

I like the name ca.rideboard, but it can be something else, like
ca.travel.rides.
