Why Liftshare? BBC 1 Morning Live Investigates

Shown on BBC One’s Morning Live programme on 13^th July, presenter OJ Borg spoke to Liftshare’s Graeme Banister about our plans for the future, and interviewed Liftshare members.

OJ chatted with regular lift-sharer, Sarah, about how she finds sharing, and took a ride with first-time lift-sharer Nikki in Manchester. The conclusion of the piece was: “Maybe we all should ride together a bit more”.
