Do you GoLoco?

Combine ridesharing with social networking on Facebook and you get one pretty cool way to reduce your transportation costs.  The site is called GoLoco and it leverages Facebook by turning your social network into a transit network.

According to their site, here's how it works:    

1. Post some trips -- want to go to the game? shopping? daily commute? out of town?
2. Invite your your friends, colleagues, and classmates to join GoLoco.
3. View profiles of people whose trips match your own. Decide if you'd like to travel with them.
4. Accept a trip as is, or negotiate changes online.
5. Meet up at a specific location and time.

You can use GoLoco to share rides for free. Or you can choose to share trip costs quickly and easily online before the trip without the awkward money discussion or exchange in the car. GoLoco collects each passenger's share of the total trip costs before the trip begins and transfers it to the driver using online accounts. We charge a 10 percent transaction fee.

Anyone out there used it yet?  Would you?
