Start with your own plans
Where do you need to go, on which days, and when do you need to arrive? A spare seat can be shared with a passenger whose needs fit that journey. Your personal reason for travelling comes first; earning money is not the purpose of creating a journey.
Describe each direction
Outbound and return journeys need not happen at the same time or place. Record them separately, with realistic times. Separate regular travel from occasional trips when planning a shared journey. These entries explain your travel rather than setting a passenger quota.
Arrange a practical meeting
Choose a clear landmark and somewhere stopping is permitted. Allow time to reach the vehicle. A station can be a useful landmark but does not automatically provide a legal stopping place nearby. Agree on the exact location.
Review plans instead of promising certainty
Update your profile if your schedule changes and communicate before departure. Do not promise permanent availability or an automatic return journey. Each trip has its own conditions, acceptance and recorded status. Preparation can reduce misunderstandings without eliminating unexpected events.
