BlablaCar is a combination of a travel site and a social network, with drivers and passengers posting details about themselves and rating each other on a range of criteria, from performance and reliability to how chatty they are.To use the service, drivers post details of their trip at a suggested price, typically a proportionate contribution. Potential passengers searching for a specific trip then choose whether or not this fits with what they want to pay. The community aspect ensures transparency, safety and that the market effectively and efficiently sets the price of each trip.
