	I was told of a phone app that allows a person wanting a lift to enter a destination (the phone knows where they are currently) and private drivers bid to take them there. I would like set it up in Adelaide, Australia in conjunction with a webpage to register participants. Perhaps someone using or developing a system could provide some guidance.

	Already in place, Carpool Australia. Known as Real-time Ridesharing. I've always thought this was a good idea. __________________ Semper Ubi Sub Ubi

	Thanks Doorman The "Carpool" system has a considerable delay and no South Australian entries. The link to "Real-time" is useful and I will investigate, I would like to utilise/adapt an existing system if possible. Thanks for that.

	I had heard this was being used in a city in the US and taxi companies were fighting it.

	Next they will probably have an app for where your 'friend' can pick you up for a lunch or dinner 'date'. No more Jenny written on the wall, 867-5309

	That is so odd. I've had that song in my head all morning. [edit] Interesting, this. 8675309 is a prime number. Wonder if that was just happenstance? __________________ Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
