I came back to BlaBlaCar because I wanted to hitch a hike from central Germany to my home place in Grisons, Switzerland and back. About half a year ago, I tried a similar thing. No luck because there were no offers. Now I really tried, found offers, and whatever I tried, none of the drivers I tried to hitch a hike with 'replied in time'. I used to be a member offering rides and hitching them. Some ten years ago. Everything was fine then. Now, unless you go through half of Europe, the BlaBla fee almost doubles the price, you have a hassle of identification steps before even getting as far as sending a booking request. And BlaBla gets in the way of actually contacting someone who might be of help. In my own profile, I didn't find anything even similar to a reply-time setting. So, the reply time I get whenever I send a request seems to be of BlaBla's making. BlaBla possibly makes finding rides difficult because they want you to use their – quite expensive – buses rather than a person. Weird and sorry. I am now considering closing my profile and account definitely. This is not a service, but has become an antiservice.
