Bla Bla Car. They don't compete against taxis but I think drivers shouldn't be able to get paid without a licence. I might be wrong. Anyway, they compete against trains and flight companies which don't care about Bla Bla Car yet.

Bla Bla Car is actual ride sharing / car pooling at least as far as I can tell. Basically you already know you want to go from A to B and are just asking others to join. At least that's how it works in Germany and how I can travel across half the country for less than 50€, because I'm not paying the driver but rather helping them pay for their gas bill.
