Is anyone using the NuRide service?

Are there any gotchas?

Nope. I heard about it but wasn't interested at the time.

I've been a slug and driver from Burke for close to 20 years now, and never heard of it. So must be either something new or not worth your time.

Keep on sluggin'! [:)]

I tried to use, signed up and everything...honestly it's ok but you have to go through a series of questions and I just don't see that it is worth the hassle of trying to find someone to commute with, however, try it you may like it, I didn't.

I tried it last year but I found the site hard to use. Also, for some reason it doesn't match up people very well. For example, I had 2 co-workers sign up, 3 including me. 2 of us were riders and 1 was a driver and it still didn't want to match us up. Lots of little quirks in the system. We all ended up discontinuing it. Too much hassle.

Too bad. It seems like such a service would be really helpful to the other-than-Pentagon crowd. Even though I'm at the Pentagon, I'd prefer to hook up with a couple of people at the North Parking flyover bridge than deal with the line some days.
