ride shares
Split fare trips
Ride shares are transportation arrangements where passengers travel together in a single vehicle, sharing the cost or journey.
The term covers both formal carpooling and app-based services like Uber and Lyft, where drivers use personal vehicles to transport paying customers: I take ride shares to work to save on parking.
Also spelled as one word: rideshares.
