Hitchhiking benches in Lugano

It might sound like something out of the 60s BUT hitchhiking is back trying to create a new perspective on mobility. Would you like to give or get a ride and experiment car sharing?

By sitting on any of the yellow benches around town, you can indeed expect a driver to stop by to offer you a ride. This service, fundamentally spontaneous between citizens, comes about as a free alternative to public transportation.

However, beware that as this service happens deliberately, the juridical responsibility befalls on both the driver and the passenger in case anything happens during the trip. The City of Lugano cannot be held responsible for anything that might arise during one’s trip. They therefore recommend for you to use your critical mind and to cautiously pick your hitchhiking companions.

Hmmm, what are your thoughts on this initiative?
