ridesharing
Splitting transportation costs
Ridesharing is the practice of sharing car trips with others, either by carpooling with acquaintances or by using app-based services that connect drivers with passengers.
The term now primarily refers to services like Uber and Lyft: I took a rideshare from the airport.
The compound appears as one word, two words, or hyphenated.
