Ariel would not go alone with a male driver who she didn’t know. She’d be more open with a female driver, or if she had friends with her. Usually to find rides, She just contacts a lot of friends- she emails out to Harvard 2010 list or church list to see if anyone is interested. She would want to know how much the person wanted for gas beforehand. She thinks it would be more useful and she would feel safer if there were references on the driver (like a phone number or email). She would prefer to have popular departing cities and destinations and to maybe do it by season. She thinks it would be cool to set a default city and that it would be useful to have a newsfeed to advertise rides. She would like the ability to subscribe to destinations that she wants. Also, she would like to see how many empty seats are available for each ride. She also thinks it would be nice if the site had a message system.
