            <p><heading>Greeting drivers at LAS</heading></p>
            <p>Early June I flew out to Las Vegas for a week, to meet drivers at LAS 
			    Airport’s ridesharing drivers' staging lot. I introduced myself and Ride 
				to drivers, and asked them to share their comments and experiences.</p>

        <segment>
			<p>...awaiting expensive ride requests, they realize all too well that if rates were affordable 
				then the driver staging lot would be almost empty, as drivers would all be out servicing 
				rides. Drivers know that passengers too have fallen on hard times, and welcome the 
				opportunity to service them at affordable rates through Rideshare Cooperative.</p>

				<p><heading>Breaking the Ice at SFO</heading></p>
				<p>Commencing with Mother’s Day, I spent two days at San Francisco Airport’s 
					ridesharing staging lot, introducing myself and Ride to drivers, and 
					engaging them for their comments and experiences.</p>
				<p>Most were excitedly receptive, especially about</p>
				<ul>
					<li>keeping their entire fares (less 10%)</li>
					<li>remaining completely independent, and that</li>
					<li>Ride will launch nationally, then globally</li>
				</ul>
