How does sharing a taxi from Jerusalem to the airport work?
You write your trip in 1 sentence and PairMee shows the people already heading the same way at a similar time. You ask to join, or, if nobody is going yet, the same sentence becomes your ride post and you approve who joins. Everyone meets at the agreed point, shares one taxi, and splits the meter directly. It is free either way.
