Ride-sharing services are platforms that connect passengers with drivers using a smartphone app. Instead of hailing a taxi on the street, users can request a ride from nearby drivers, who use their personal vehicles to transport them to their destination. Popular ride-sharing services include Uber and Lyft, which have made getting around cities more convenient and often more affordable. These services allow people to share rides, reducing the number of cars on the road and helping to decrease traffic congestion. Users can easily track their ride, pay through the app, and even rate their experience, making it a user-friendly option for transportation.
