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 these terms reference 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 share of each fare in payment. While at one point controversial, ridesharing platforms quickly have become all but ubiquitous in most major cities of the world due to their efficiency and ease of use.
