Tallahassee to Jacksonville: Rideshare vs. Bus, Train, or Driving
Door to door from a typical Tallahassee home, Hitch takes about 2 hr 55 min from $66; the economy bus about 4 hr 15 min, about $57.
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). Arrive early is each carrier's own guidance: FlixBus and Greyhound 15 minutes, Vonlane 15, Amtrak 30, Brightline 20; RedCoach publishes none, so 15 as for other buses; Hitch publishes none (drivers wait up to 10 minutes). 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 10 a day | On demand | 2 a day | Anytime | |

| True time and true cost count every leg: a rideshare to the stop at $1.50 a mile, the time each carrier asks you to arrive before departure (15 to 30 minutes for buses and trains, none for Hitch), and a rideshare on from the drop-off, at 30 mph. A typical Tallahassee resident lives about 5 miles by road from a Hitch station and 7 miles from the bus stop; in Jacksonville, 8 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.

Rider reviews
"Cheapest way I know to ride between cities in Texas. The pickup is on scheduled times and there are options to ride share. It's not the app if you immediately need to travel but if you plan ahead it's the best option available. Highly recommended. The app is also easy to use and I've never had a problem with drivers being late, in fact they've been early a few times."

"Both Hitch as well as their drivers have shown flexibility when required, so my experience has been fine thus far"

"When I need to drive to another city, I prefer to use hitch over flying. They are convenient for both guest and host."

"Affordable inter State rides. I use the app to travel within Texas and they provide really fare pricing. The per seat booking functionality is also convenient to use. Most importantly their customer support is available all the time and gives quick responses! Must use app!"
