Something that may be of help to some of you on a budget out there, looking to fly into Reno, but not sure yet how you're gonna get to the playa from the airport, there will be 3 rideshare bases in the Reno area again this year during the week of Burning Man.
What's a "rideshare base?"
A rideshare base is a place for those seeking a ride to go to where they are very likely to pick up a ride in short order, because that place is a very frequent stop for burners shopping through on their way to the playa.
The three rideshare bases this year will be:
Trader Joe's

Whole Foods Market

Save Mart on Keystone

Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are the closest mega-burner shopping stops to the airport. They however are not open 24 hours -- 9-9 and 8-9, respectively. Save Mart on Keystone is the single most burner-populated stop during Burning Man, particularly because it is right next to I-80, and because it is open 24 hours.
Note that in addition to being a rideshare base, these stores continue to provide additional goods and services to help support the burner migrations well beyond most other places in the region -- hence, why they're so popular....
IN ADDITION, c/o The Amendment 21, Air Playa Info, and the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, there will be a FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE from the airport to these rideshare bases during certain hours and on certain days during Burning Man -- it's a pilot experiment, and the shuttle has prior engagements, hence why it is not for all hours and days.
The shuttle will be operating during these peak days and peak hours, with shuttle trips going to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's until 8:30 pm, and to Save Mart after that:
Mon, August 31 - Wed, Sept. 2
10 am - 3:30 pm
7 pm - 9:30 pm
To get a ride on this shuttle, please visit the Air Playa Info table at the Reno airport, a table c/o Burning Man staffed by volunteers and loaded with info for you travels to the playa. Wait at API for the next shuttle arrival -- you'll be informed when the next shuttle has arrived....
