Hashtag for hitchhiking/ rideshare in Ireland

    Given the Bus Eireann strike and how many people will be stranded, is there a hashtag on twitter exclusively for people wanting lifts within Ireland? I'd be happy to ferry someone from say Galway to Kerry if I'm heading down anyway.
    The person getting the lift could save money on the bus/train, the driver would have a bit of company and maybe get a few quid from the person they're taking.

    Given how many people are strapped for cash and how crappy our public transport can be it seems like a no-brainer.

    My question is this: Is there a hashtag on twitter for hitchhiking in Ireland and if not, what should it be?

    My feeling is it should be very Irish, like #ridesheire or #gimmealift

    Anyone got better suggestions?

    #Ridesheire just sounds like the purpose of the journey could be entirely misconstrued..............

    ok so virtually noone thought this was worth commenting on.

    Journal ran an article on this very subject today.
    http://www.thejournal.ie/bus-eireann-strike-alternative-transport-liftfairy-906352-May2013/

    Apparently what I was looking for was #liftfairy. Its trending on twitter this morning.

    Spooky, eh?

    Hitchhiking, great way to have yourself found near some bog decomposing in the ársehole of nowhere.

    Burst out laughing at "rideshare". Thanks for that OP, entire DART carriage probably thought I was a complete nutcase :D

    Sounds like a great start to a horror movie but in real life.

    The strike will be pushed to the bottom and all the missing and murdered hitch hikers will be front page news.:pac::pac:
