ridesharing services

Ridesharing services are platforms, such as Uber or Lyft, that connect passengers with drivers through a smartphone app. These services use private vehicles to provide transportation on demand, offering an alternative to traditional taxis. Upon requesting a ride, the app matches you with a nearby driver, shows estimated fares and arrival times, and handles payment electronically. Ridesharing promotes flexible, convenient travel by leveraging existing personal vehicles, often at competitive rates. It has become a popular way to commute, especially in urban areas, combining technology with shared transportation to improve accessibility and efficiency.
