I tested it out for the Chicagoland area to see how much saturation they have here, and did a search for a trip from the city to a NW suburb for tomorrow.

1 result came up, so I clicked, and it brought up a Craigslist page within an iFrame. Is Ridejoy just scraping Craigslist? Genuinely curious.

We do show matching rides from Craigslist as a service to our users. Using an iframe means we don't need to scrape/copy the content to show it, but it still looks good/works well. CL seems fine with it, we haven't had issues with them. And we send lots of our traffic to them, not that they need it :)
