There are probably a number of reasons *why* the ride-sharing thing has been less effective in recent years, and we discussed several of them
Traffic has gotten worse, hasn't it?
I think I see a feedback loop here, too. Older Carolingians are less likely to have time and energy to drive students around; that's more likely to be Carolingians in their 20s. So the fact that there are fewer Carolingias in their 20s means fewer rides for students, which means fewer active students, which means fewer students graduating, getting jobs, and becoming Carolingians in their 20s.
