This paper outlines a mechanism for 802.11 meeting attendees to coordinate shared rides between airports and hotels, promoting cost savings and environmental benefits. By utilizing a collaborative document, attendees can express their travel needs and find partners with similar timing. Users can enter trip details such as names, email addresses, and travel windows into a shared spreadsheet. Trust among participants is essential, with guidelines to protect personal information. This initiative aims to facilitate convenient and sustainable travel for meeting participants.

Simple Shared Ride System • We can save money and the environment by sharing taxis/hire cars to/from meeting hotels • The problem is finding people who want to travel at a similar time • The solution is a shared document allowing people to advertise their desires and find their dream partner(s) • You look for a match, and if you don’t find one, you can choose to enter your desires and wait for a match (or just keep looking) • You take usual precautions when meeting new people • You choose what information you want to share Mark RISON (Samsung)
Simple Shared Ride System • Propose to have a shared world-editable Google spreadsheet with columns like: • Name (maybe just given name, maybe with company) • Email address (and/or mobile phone number) • Trip start and end points • Trip start time window • Number of people in your party (if not 1) • Other (e.g. mode of transport, spaces left) • Relies on trust (no coordinator/moderator/authenticator) • Don’t edit other people’s entries • Don’t leak the URL (but don’t assume it won’t be leaked) • URL in 802.11 private area Mark RISON (Samsung)
