Ride-sharing programs
Ride-sharing programs are transportation services where individuals use a mobile app to connect with drivers offering rides in their personal vehicles. These programs facilitate shared travel, allowing passengers to split costs and reduce the number of cars on the road. Examples include Uber and Lyft. They provide convenient, often more affordable alternatives to traditional taxis, and can be scheduled in advance or on-demand. By leveraging technology, ride-sharing enhances mobility, offers flexible transportation options, and can contribute to decreased traffic congestion and environmental impact.
