Creating a Ride

To create a trip just click on the map somewhere. A popup box will appear and ask you if you want to make the trip to or from Luther. It may be useful to use the zoom controls on the map to zoom in to your destination or starting point. This will make it easier to be precise about where you are going to or coming from. You may also create a ride to a city by simply typing in an address, or a city, state in the text box above the map. This will place a pushpin on the map in the center of the city or at the exact address you provide.

Once you have selected a starting point or destination there is some additional information to provide about the trip. You need to provide a contact number. Preferably a cell phone number that potential riders can contact you via text or voice, to get any detailed starting or ending time information. You also should set how many riders you can take. Finally make sure you set the date and approximate time of departure. We haven't made this any more specific that early/late morning or early/late afternoon knowing that often departure times are set exactly until closer to the time of the trip.

Joining an Existing Ride

To join an exisiting ride simply click on a pushpin on the map. A popup will appear that gives you information about the date, time, and driver for the trip. Note that red pushpins indicate trips that start at Luther and go to the pin, whereas green pushpins indicate a trip that starts at the pushpin and goes back to Luther.

Finding out about my Trips

To see the complete list of trips that you have created either as a driver or as a rider click on the 'Your Rides' tab on the homepage. You can also delete rides and get the phone numbers for your riders or driver on this page.

Finding out about my driver

We are working on implementing a profile page so that you can check out your driver and/or riders. This is not done yet, but we'll make it available as soon as we can.
