is that still a thing? Also, how are they supposed to hear about it? And who picks up hitchhikers anymore? I mean, maybe a few people would do it, but I'm skeptical that it would ever be a problem.

Yes people still travel by hitchhiking. Yes it is possible to do so. I know someone who hitchhikes all the time.

I've ran out of gas in Silicon Valley and had people pull over to offer a ride to the gas station. So folks are still awesome.

Yeah, but you probably don't look like a homeless person.
