Verb sense 3 is written all wrong, and is unclear. Equinox 20:50, 1 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I would delete senses 2 and 3 and include them in sense 1 just by adding "or service", but perhaps some people think that separate senses are important? Dbfirs 10:14, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
I am reasonably sure that we could find lots of domain-specific senses of piggyback, often multiple ones in the same domain. This seems like a very productive metaphor with no small set of meanings in any domain. I agree with deleting the two senses, with a mildly altered def 1 along the lines of Dbfirs suggestion.
