Ride sharing has changed the way we use transportation. It has made getting from point A to point B easier and more convenient.
The Rise of Ride Sharing
Ride sharing is a form of transportation that has become increasingly popular in the past decade. Ride sharing has changed the way people get around, making it more convenient, affordable and safe than ever before!
Ride-sharing apps like Uber or Lyft have made it possible for you to get where you need to go without having to worry about driving yourself or hiring a taxi driver. And as an added bonus: ride-sharing apps are environmentally friendly too!
The Rise of Uber
The rise of Uber has been remarkable. The ride-sharing company was founded by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp in 2009, who were inspired to create the app after not being able to get a cab on New Year’s Eve. Fast forward 10 years later, and Uber has been valued at $60 billion–making it one of the most valuable private companies in the world.
Uber is also the largest ride-share company in the world with operations across 65 countries and 400 cities worldwide–and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon! But despite its success as a business venture, Uber hasn’t had such an easy time gaining acceptance among governments around the globe; many cities have banned them from operating within their jurisdictions due to safety concerns or regulatory issues related to taxi companies’ licensing requirements (i.e., having enough vehicles). And if that weren’t bad enough news for Uber fans everywhere…you’ll be happy/sad/both when I tell you about all those lawsuits against drivers from riders claiming assault (or worse) against them during rides…
The Rise of Lyft
Lyft is a ride sharing company that was founded in 2012. It operates in over 300 cities across the United States, Canada and Australia. Lyft’s headquarters are located in San Francisco, California. The name ‘Lyft’ comes from the word “lifted,” which is an adjective used to describe feeling happy or excited about something (e.g., “I feel so lifted after winning this award”).
The company has raised over $3 billion from investors including Google Ventures, General Motors Ventures and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.. In January 2019 it was reported that Lyft had surpassed Uber as the second most valuable startup behind Airbnb.[1]
The Future of Ride Sharing in the US
Ride sharing is only going to grow in the future, as ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft continue to expand their reach across North America. For example, Uber announced this month that it’s expanding its service area into Canada by partnering with Canadian auto manufacturer General Motors (GM). In addition, there are rumors that Apple is planning on getting into the ride-sharing business next year–and if they do so successfully, we could see even more growth in this industry sector over time.
Ride sharing can also help reduce traffic congestion: if people share rides instead of driving themselves or taking public transportation, then fewer cars will be on the road at any given time which means less traffic jams! And since many commuters already have access to smartphones these days anyway (whether through their own personal devices or through work), it makes sense for employers who want their employees’ safety while traveling home after work hours as well as helping them save money on gas expenses while doing so.”
Ride sharing has made getting from point A to point B a lot easier.
Ride sharing has made getting from point A to point B a lot easier. The convenience, cost and environmental benefits are just some of the reasons why more people are choosing ride-hailing services over traditional taxis.
Ridesharing has become so popular that it’s now considered the most popular way for Americans to get around cities like New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago. And even though Uber and Lyft have been around for almost a decade now–yes, you read that right–they’re still growing at an incredible rate: Uber added more than 200 new drivers per day during 2018 alone!
Conclusion
Ride sharing has made getting from point A to point B a lot easier. The rise of Uber and Lyft has completely changed how we use transportation in the United States, and it won’t be stopping anytime soon. As more people adopt these services, we can expect even more innovation within this industry.
