Split your ride from USC to LAX
Tandem is the airport ride board for verified USC students. See who else is heading to LAX or Burbank the same day, team up, and split the fare.
Most USC students fly out of LAX, about 10 miles from campus, and whole dorms leave on the same few days before every break.

Questions
Who can use the USC ride board?
Only University of Southern California students. You sign up with your @usc.edu email and enter the code we send. Other schools never see your board.
Does Tandem book my ride to LAX?
No. Tandem shows you which USC students are heading to or from the airport when you are. Once you're matched, your group books on whatever app you like and splits the fare.
How much does it cost?
Posting a ride is free until someone joins it. Then it's $2. Joining a ride is $2. If you post and nobody joins, you pay nothing.
How much can I save?
It depends on the fare and how many of you share it. As an example, an $80 ride is about $40 each for two students, or about $27 each for three.
Can I find a ride back to campus from LAX?
Yes. Post a ride from the airport to campus for the day you land, or join one that's already on the board.
