Ridejoy looks great, but Canadians out there should really take a look at LiveRides (http://liverides.com)

Their app does what Ridejoy does and more - it even lets you securely communicate and track where a driver is when he/she is on his/her way to pick you up.

I'm really glad to see people in this space. I'm fed up of big oil and driving my car alone. Driving should be a social experience with friendly people that doesn't hurt the planet needlessly.

Ridejoy has hundreds of active rides in Canada (especially around Vancouver, but also Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Ottawa) and three Canadian cities are in the Popular Destinations section of our iPhone app.

We also launched our iPhone app in Canada: http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/08/14/ridejoy-ride-sharing-app-m...

So definitely check out Ridejoy in Canada as well :)

(Good luck to gozman/LiveRides, more people trying rideshare helps everyone)

I'm also fed up with big oil.
