What's the incentive for people to be the driver in this scenario, other than not crapping up the commons (which in this case is the freeway?)



They get paid.


Wait, so this is just Uber where after you finish your short Uber shift, you go to work?


Sorta. Unlike a normal Uber driver, the carpool driver (1) specify their rough route, (2) can decline riders without penalty, and (3) isn't paid as much (basically enough to cover gas, I think). But yes, the pick-up/drop-off interface was supposed to be more or less the same.


Ah, thanks. I probably should have looked all of that up.


Uber doesn't let you put in a destination as a driver.
