Ridesharing (Uber, Lyft)

Ridesharing platforms like Uber and Lyft connect passengers with drivers through a smartphone app. When someone needs a ride, they request it via the app, which locates nearby drivers, calculates a fare, and matches them. The driver then picks up the passenger, using the app for directions and payment processing. This system leverages existing private vehicles, providing convenient, on-demand transportation without traditional taxi hurdles. Ridesharing offers flexible work opportunities for drivers and often more affordable, accessible travel options for passengers compared to traditional taxis.
