Please don’t go around deciding issues based in whether they affect your personal life. There are a lot of people in spread out rural areas that don’t own a car and don’t have a bus and asking for rides is as old as the wheel itself. I gave a kid a ride one time so he could go down to his local junior college and register for classes. I hitched across half of AZ once when the tour bus I was with decided to leave two hours early and didn’t do a proper headcount. People ban hitching because they think it will keep “undesirables” out of of their highways and it is as cruel and stupid as criminalizing homelessness because “ew I don’t want to look at that.”
