Is anyone aware of a reliable and safe ride share site for travel between Tavira, Portugal and Ronda, Spain?
Travel by bus to Seville, and then by train (with a change in Cordoba) to Ronda, Spain, seems to waste a lot of time and effort. Just looking for a more convenient way!
Thanks
There are buses from Seville to Ronda, several times/day. More convenient than the train through Córdoba.
Portugal and Spain turn out to be, alas, "poorly connected." It's not that convenient to combine a trip to both countries.
I admit that I'm older, but I don't understand why ride-share (which is to say, exploitative gig-economy taxi service) enthusiasts think that a car driver can afford to make a 2 hour trip back-home empty, without charging the full cost of the round-trip to the one-way passenger. This "cost" has to be figured into the rate. This is not like taking an Uber back to your apartment after a night at a club.
I think that what is meant here is not Uber-style services, but the carpooling platforms where people like you and me advertise a trip that they intend to make, and carry passengers in their own car to share costs. BlablaCar is one, and it is very popular in France but I am not sure about Spain. Reliability is the issue: rides do get cancelled, and you are not driven by a professional so you do not have much certainty about the condition of the vehicle and the standard of driving (you just have to trust the drivers' ratings). I would not use them in a trip which would be derailed by a cancelled ride.
balso, thank you for explaining that to me. There certainly were physical "ride boards" when I was in college, 1972.
