Okay, I have an idea. Can you lend your brain and think with me?

Right now:

Hitch-hiking is free and random.

There are barely any designated hitch-hiker pick-up locations.

Hitch-hikers usually have to wait a bit, and many people say no to them (they just drive on).

Hitch-hikers are no official part of traffic and logistics.

Drivers only notice hitch-hikers just before they pass them.

From the point of view of the driver we can say the following:

When driving, you usually do not take hitch-hikers into account.

When you see a hitch-hiker you start to think about taking them.

When you are done thinking you already passed them.

After you passed them you start reflecting whether you would have taken them.

Imagine:

We designate intelligent hitch-hikers pick-up and drop-off locations.

These spots have a specific name, and are mapped on a website.

300 meters before that spot we make a sign pole to gives the driver time to think.

Hitch-hikers ask the driver about their vision for a more efficient and climate-friendly traffic system.

Hitch-hikers agree to share these and their own visions on a website, connected to the locations.

This comes from my own hitch-hiking experience in the countryside of Sweden, and has only had a few of my thoughts. During the focus meeting I have it another chance, and now I would like to bounce it with you! Share your thoughts in the comments!

I want to develop a financially sustainable enterprise, striving for social innovation and positive social change.

This enterprise serves as a platform for myself, so that my basic human needs are financially covered, allowing me to develop projects and initiatives for a more just and sustainable world.

The very basic framing question of this project is:

• How can I pay the bills, doing what I love to be doing, continuously learning and offering my experiences and qualities to the world?
