One of our readers has suggested that we start up a new section on this site, dedicated to car-sharing requests.
So, for example, if someone is going to Derby, Ashbourne, Bakewell, Matlock – or even further afield – they could post the information here, along with a phone number or other contact details.
This would also work the other way, so that anyone needing a lift could also post a request. Requests could also be posted on behalf of friends, neighbours and relatives who do not have internet access.
Examples:
- Spaces available in car going to Ashbourne at 10:00am on Friday 25th June – John, tel. xxx
- Lift wanted from Derby station at 6:00pm on Thursday 24th June – Mary, tel. xxx
As for sharing of any petrol costs, this would be left to the discretion of the drivers and passengers.
Our reader says:
This would be ecologically and environmentally sound, cheaper for some, companiable for others and convenient for all.
The blog team are more than happy to trial such a service – but before we make a start, we’d like to know whether or not you would find it useful.
Please let us know what you think by completing our poll.
Note that you can tick more than one option.
If you would NOT find the service useful, please tick the last option only. In this instance, the “negative” votes are just as helpful to us as the “positive” votes, so please don’t hesitate to answer honestly!
