Why did we select this research?
Potential benefits of ride-sharing and ride-matching technology.
Key findings:
- Integrating ride-sharing system and public transit system have the potential to significantly enhance mobility, increase the use of public transport. Consequently, reduction of the negative externalities associated with car travel.
- Driver willingness to pick up and drop off more than one rider is a critical issue when it comes to the system performance. Need for further options so to facilitate (or even stimulate) the driver to pick up more than one passenger.
