| DeparturesHow departures are countedBus booking sites list one bus several times, once for each stop it calls at in the same city. Here each bus or train counts once, and one company's departures leaving within 30 minutes of each other count once, Hitch included. Companies are never added together: where several run a route, the figure is the busiest one's. A bus or train that a later one beats to the destination is not counted, since no rider would choose it. | Up to 9 a day | On demand | Up to 2 a day | Anytime | |

No middle seat, ever
On a Hitch shared ride the middle back seat is never sold, so every rider gets a window seat and no one sits shoulder to shoulder. Intercity buses and trains seat riders in rows of two, side by side.
