"Share My Ride" - NYTimes.com

Could we not combine the power of the internet with the good will of our neighbors and come up with a huge number of new pooling possibilities? Combined with Chapel Hill Transit and Durham Area Transit Authority, there surely are a lot of errands and trips where we could all do one another and the environment - not to mention our pocketbooks - a big favor. Surely the technology cannot be that tought to do that would allow each of us to say - I'm headed off to COSTCO on Tuesday, can I get something for you or would you like to come with me? Or wherever one might be headed?

Meanwhile, don't forget that we have Zipcar in Chapel Hill.
