Ridesharing
The term "ridesharing" or ridehailing, can be used to refer to a variety of activities related to sharing space in a vehicle but most commonly references services such as Uber and Lyft, digital platforms that arbitrate vehicle spaces as a form of ride service. These and similar platforms connect willing drivers with prospective passengers, matching demanded passenger destinations with ride availability and taking a commission on each fare. While at one point controversial, ridesharing platforms have become all but ubiquitous in most major cities of the world.
