Waiting times

How long did hitchhikers wait before a recorded pickup? These are medians: half of the rides waited less and half waited more.

20 min solo · 50500 rides

20 min 2 hitchhikers · 717 rides

25 min 3 hitchhikers · 102 rides

15 min 4 hitchhikers · 5 rides

The tables include every possible combination of the four gender values the ride form can record, including combinations with no sample yet. Observed rides with missing gender data are listed separately as ‘Not recorded’; that is not a gender category. Small samples are shown, not hidden, and marked below 10 rides.

A ride counts only when it records a waiting time and between one and four hitchhikers. Give-ups are excluded because they measure time until stopping, not time until pickup. A dash means no qualifying ride; an asterisk marks fewer than 10 rides. Do not treat those small-sample medians as a general rule. 51324 of 84433 database rows qualify. Recalculated daily; last run 2026-10-05T07:20:07Z.
