Fort Worth to Houston: Rideshare vs. Bus, Train, or Driving
Door to door from a typical Fort Worth home, Hitch takes about 3 hr 55 min from $95; the economy bus about 6 hr 10 min, about $70.
Your total time and cost, door to doorHow your total is worked outThe ride to the stop and on from the drop-off is by rideshare at $1.50 a mile, with Google's drive time to each way to go's nearest stop (or 30 mph if that lookup fails). Hitch's time is the drive between your two addresses, as for Uber and driving, since a Hitch driver can pick you up at your door. An end without an address uses a typical resident's ride: the average, over everyone living within 15 miles, of the road miles to the nearest stop.

| 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 11 a day | On demand | Up to 2 a day | 2 a day | 3 a week | Anytime |

Hitch's time is the drive, as for rideshare and driving, since a Hitch driver can pick you up at your door. A typical Fort Worth resident lives about 9 miles by road from a Hitch station and 10 miles from the bus stop; in Houston, 7 miles and 11 miles.

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.
