Want to cut down on your carbon footprint and maybe get to know someone new in the process? This is the thread for you!
Use the comments section to find ride share options for this year's SiWC. We suggest posting whether you want to share a cab from the airport, are happy to drive people in your car from somewhere in the Lower Mainland or over on the ferry, or if you'd love to be a passenger to share expenses with someone who's driving. (That's important; if you're asking for a ride, please offer to share expenses!) It's helpful if you say what day(s) you're arriving and leaving, too.
As ever, please use your common sense about what you post publicly and pay attention to your Spidey senses. We offer this thread as a courtesy, but we don't know everyone who posts, and can take no responsibility for your carpool experience. That being said, lots of great connections have been made on shared rides over the years, and we hope that'll be true again this year.
If you're looking to share a hotel room to split expenses or because the hotel is completely sold out, please check out our room share blog here.

Hi, I am arriving at Vancouver Airport on Thursday morning so I can make an afternoon Masterclass. My flight arrives at 9:50am and I am looking to share a cab. Apparently a cab will cost around $80.00-$85.00.
Hi Iryn, I arrive on a small plane at Harbour Air and then take a shuttle to the main airport. I was going to take the Skytrain from there but am willing to share a cab. I get int 2:15 so can be at main airport by 2:45 . If that works for you, let me know.
Yes, Rose, I'd love to share a cab. I'll be the African woman with braided hair. I hope I haven't replied too late. I forgot to check back for a response.
I'm arriving at YVR airport Wednesday around 5:30 PM. Interested in either sharing a cab or riding the train together. If we arrive at nearest train station (Surrey Central) by 6:30 pm the hotel shuttle will pick us up. If not, there is a taxi line and cost is about $10 for taxi from train station to hotel.
