What is "ride-hailing"?
Ride-hailing is a service that allows people to request a ride from a driver through a smartphone app. Users can choose the type of ride they need, and a nearby driver is sent to pick them up and take them to their destination. This service typically operates with flexible pricing, based on distance and time, and is used as an alternative to traditional taxis.
