BlaBlaCar Raises A Massive $100 Million Round To Create A Global Long Distance Ride-Sharing Network | TechCrunch

Not-for-profit (at least for the drivers) ride sharing, with variable chattiness levels (options include "not very chatty," "enjoys a natter," and "won't shut up;" check this BlaBlaCar page for details)

"BlaBlaCar is a marketplace where you can find a driver who is driving from one city to another and book a seat in advance. Drivers can make a bit of money while riders can travel for cheap. It has the same business model as Airbnb — you pay or get money every time you ride or drive, and the company takes a 10 percent cut on average. But the true beauty in BlaBlaCar’s business is that its marketplace is getting much better all the time — the more people use it, the more rides you will find close to your home, even if you’re going from a tiny city to another small city."
