rideshare
Split the drive
Rideshare refers to transportation arranged through a smartphone app, connecting passengers with drivers using personal vehicles.
Services like Uber and Lyft have made rideshare the dominant term for this model: I'll just rideshare to the airport.
The word also covers traditional carpooling—multiple people sharing a vehicle to split costs or reduce traffic.
As a verb: We rideshared to work for years.
