Introduction
With ride sharing apps like Lyft and Uber, hailing a cab is easier than ever. But did you know that ride sharing can also be better for your wallet, the environment and public safety? Here’s why:
At a time when many people are choosing not to own a car, ride-sharing services provide an affordable and convenient option for getting around.
Ride sharing is convenient, affordable and safer than driving alone.
It’s no secret that the cost of owning a car has been increasing over the years. According to AAA, the average cost of owning a new vehicle was $9000 in 1996 and rose to $12,000 by 2008–and that doesn’t even include fuel or maintenance costs! With ride-sharing services like Lyft and Uber becoming more popular every day, it’s easy to see why many people are choosing not to own their own vehicle anymore: not only do these services make getting around easier for everyone involved (the driver as well as riders), but they also save money on gas costs while simultaneously reducing traffic congestion caused by single-occupancy vehicles driving around aimlessly waiting for their next fare request from their app’s GPS tracking system

In addition to reducing traffic congestion, ride sharing helps reduce car ownership and usage. This has a number of benefits: fewer cars on the road means less pollution, which means cleaner air and healthier citizens. It also reduces the need to manufacture and maintain those vehicles, saving energy and resources in the process.

- Find out how to save money on gas:
- Use the app to find rides near you or at the airport, which will help you avoid paying for parking fees.
- If you’re traveling with a friend, split the cost of an Uber or Lyft ride so that each person only pays half the fare–and then split again when they drive home!
- Save on insurance by using ride sharing services:
- You don’t have to buy a new car just because your current one needs repairs; instead, use Uber or Lyft! It’s easier than ever before thanks to smartphone apps that allow users access from anywhere at any time (even if it’s late at night). These kinds of mobile technologies allow us all sorts of benefits like this one: fewer resources needed overall since there aren’t any extra vehicles clogging up our roads anymore because everyone just uses public transportation services instead.”
Ride sharing reduces traffic congestion and improves safety on the roads.
Ride sharing is an excellent way to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety on the roads.
Ride sharing reduces the number of cars on the road, which means fewer accidents and less pollution. In fact, if all U.S. drivers made one roundtrip ride per week using Lyft or Uber (and assuming these trips were taken from congested areas), we estimate that this would remove more than 1 billion miles from our roads every week!
Ride sharing is better for everyone!
Ride sharing is better for everyone!
- Ride sharing reduces traffic congestion. When you take your car out of the equation, you’re helping to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. This means less traffic jams and less frustration when you’re trying to get somewhere.
- Ride sharing improves safety on the roads. When you ride with Uber or Lyft instead of driving yourself, there’s no need for anyone (including yourself) to worry about operating a vehicle while impaired or distracted by their phone–you can sit back and relax while someone else does all the work! Plus, if something does happen in an Uber/Lyft vehicle due to driver negligence or malfunctions with their car itself (ehem), then both parties involved have insurance coverage through companies like Progressive Insurance Company which means that even though accidents can’t always be prevented from happening altogether at least there will be some financial protection in place so they don’t end up costing us as much money later down line due having been involved during such an incident.”
Conclusion
Ride sharing is the new way to get around, and it’s better for everyone. Ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized transportation by making it faster and more affordable than ever before. In addition, these apps are good for the environment because they reduce traffic congestion and make it easier for people who don’t own cars or bikes to get where they need to go safely without driving themselves out of breath!
