Transport Network Companies

Transport Network Companies (TNCs) are technology platforms that connect passengers with drivers using smartphone apps. They act as intermediaries, facilitating the booking, payment, and often providing ratings and feedback. Examples include Uber and Lyft. TNCs do not own the vehicles or employ drivers directly, but rather coordinate freelance drivers working part-time or full-time. This model offers convenient, on-demand transportation options, often more flexible and accessible than traditional taxis. TNCs have transformed urban mobility by leveraging technology to improve efficiency, convenience, and affordability in personal transportation.
