ride share

Communal vehicle trip

Ride share refers to transportation arrangements where passengers share a vehicle, either through app-based services like Uber and Lyft or through informal carpooling.

The term covers both commercial services that match drivers with riders and traditional carpools where commuters take turns driving: I'll grab a ride share to the airport.

Also spelled rideshare.
