Ridesurfing vs the Buc

Ridesurfing is a virtual marketplace where people connect to make travel more accessible. We allow passengers to connect with drivers who share common travel plans; passengers request to ride with drivers, and in turn, drivers can accept or cancel requests of their choice. We allow Ridesurfers to interact prior to their journey to build trust. We want to help people commute long distances while also allowing people to share unique experiences with each other on traveling adventures.
