What is your opinion on hitchhiking? (transportation by asking people for a ride)
I do not like hitchhiker, I don't mind if they try to hitchhike, but I won't be the person transporting them because there is a potential chance of danger for little to no reward.
I agree with you; I also feel that hitchhiking can be very dangerous for the hitchhikers - like the three Israeli teenagers in 2014
What happened to the three Israeli teenagers in 2014?
They were hitchhiking back to their homes but were actually kidnapped and murdered from the hitchhiking stop
Wow that's incredibly scary. I wonder why hitchhiking became a thing in the past. I find it interesting that people used to be so trustful but in current day, more people are wary of other people.
Yes, I would be far too wary to ask a stranger for a ride in their vehicle, but in the 60s or 70s I'd imagine it felt very safe
Hitchhiking seems like an unstable way to travel too since getting a bus ticket can be cheap as $5 upwards to 50-100 bucks depends on your destination, guaranteeing that you will get to your destination.
Yes, however I can see the appeal in a free transportation, especially for students on a gap year with little money.
Free transportation is not worth the risk of your safety. Especially when you can earn money easily as a student.
