Not only do you still have some time, but, as of yesterday, you&#8217;ve now got more options for finding one. Last week, I took a look at Ridejoy&#8217;s focus on the crowd heading to &#8220;the playa&#8221; in the Northern Nevada desert; this week, the company&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/ridejoy.com\/mobile\">released its mobile app<\/a> for finding and offering rides (to anywhere) on the go.<\/p>\n<p>As you&#8217;d expect, you can do pretty much anything on the app that you&#8217;d want to do through the company&#8217;s website: find or offer a ride, check out the people that want to join you, etc. In addition, the app (which is only available to iPhone users right now) gives you the power to<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>chat with potential ridemates,<\/li>\n<li>automatically search for rides\/riders with its Autopilot &#8220;set it and forget it&#8221; function, and<\/li>\n<li>scan your credit card to pay for your ride.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have not tried the app (I&#8217;ve got an Android phone), but I have heard from friends who tested it out for Ridejoy, and they love it. It&#8217;s free, so if you&#8217;ve got an iPhone, you \u00a0might want to take it for a spin. Yep, the service is most popular on the West Coast, but just in the time I checked out their site, I saw ride offers pop up for the Southest &#8211; word&#8217;s getting around!<\/p>\n<p>Used Ridejoy before? Or another rideshare service? Tell us about your experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still looking for a ride to Burning Man?
