A Review On Rideshare Taxi Service


Advantages of Ridesharing:


Ridesharing apps increase the mobility of people with disabilities, seniors, and low-income households.
UberASSIST was designed to offer door-to-door assistance for the millions of disabled and senior populations. And both Uber and Lyft work directly with senior centers, retirement homes, and healthcare organizations to arrange rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities who may struggle to use technology. They arrange for drivers who are specifically trained to help seniors and people with disabilities to ensure the best possible experience.
There are lower levels of discrimination than with taxi services.
Research has found that discrimination is higher toward black riders hailing or arranging for taxi services. When it comes to black riders, taxis have a much higher chance of canceling or making their rider wait up to 15 minutes longer than white riders.
Ridesharing apps provide convenient, quick, safe, and more affordable transportation.
Ridesharing apps keep drunk drivers off of the road.
Ridesharing apps have created millions of jobs in the U.S.


Disadvantages of Ridesharing:

As with all things, there are also disadvantages to ridesharing, including but not limited to:

Increased emissions, traffic congestion, and decreased use of public transportation
Drivers often make less than minimum wage, which can lead to difficulties paying for gas and vehicle repairs
Rideshare apps have a history of limited background checks for drivers, while taxi drivers are subject to more intense security screenings that involve fingerprinting checks for the FBI database
