Sorry
See FAR 135.1 (a) (5).
There you will find the requirements to do airplane rides. Non-stop within a 25NM radius of the airport, you must be drug tested.

Somebody also said on APC recently you are required to have 500 hours TT, or will have to soon. Don't know about that deal.

Back in the day, I worked for an FBO that did rides. I only had to do drug testing. They were a 135 operation.
*I have heard of some changes coming to flying scenic rides, change may be on the horizon. I know no details of said changes.
You can't feasably put yourself on a drug program. Why don't you see about working for someone else who does rides.

You are allowed to "share" the costs of a flight without any additional qualifications - in fact, you could do that with a PPL. No where is it stipulated how much your share would have to be.
If you do it this way, I wouldn't advertise it anywhere - that could be construed as holding out to the public a commercial service. I also wouldn't do this in conjunction with any events like fly-ins or anything that would form lines waiting for rides. You'd just be drawing attention to yourself and would probably get you a call from your friendly local FAA person.
Just pass the word that you'll take friends up if they chip in. You determine what they need to chip in.

How about the drive to the airport fee...you can play with the numbers but good luck.
