What is "ride-sharing"?
Ride-sharing is a service where people share a vehicle to travel to a common destination. This allows multiple passengers to ride together in the same car, reducing costs and helping the environment by lowering the number of vehicles on the road. Ride-sharing can be arranged through an app or website, and drivers often pick up passengers along a set route. It is typically more affordable than hiring a private car or taking a taxi and is commonly used for daily commutes or trips within the same area.
Examples
I prefer ride-sharing over taxis because it's usually more affordable.
