Ridesharing has become synonymous with transportation over the past decade. A majority of the US population has enjoyed the services Uber & Lyft provide. From driving people to work, to the airport and occasionally picking up inebriated passengers, I have seen and done it all when it comes to rideshare. However, there is one aspect of driving for Uber/Lyft I don’t like and that is the passengers ability to order a ride for a minor. As per Uber & Lyft TOS (Terms of Service), a driver is not supposed to pick up a minor (under the age of 18) without …

Didi Chuxing, or Didi for short, is China’s largest ride hailing service. Before Friday, September 20, 2019, passengers of the service could only see their driver’s surname and license plate information. However, as of September 20th, their party affiliation is now available through the app.

Saving money is at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Transportation is a big cost for almost everyone getting to and from school or work. Whether you get there by car, taxi, Uber, or public transit, you have to spend time and money. VanPool is not a new concept, but it is growing in popularity.

With the airport being over capacity, they need a way to pay for changes to the system, which is why the fee is now in place. In 2015, Uber and Lyft were made to charge a pick up fee from the Charleston Airport, but …

Currently, over 75 million Americans are covered by Medicaid. Two million people delayed cared in 2017 because they were not able to make it to their appointments. Right now, Uber is only working with Medicaid in Arizona; where as, Lyft is working in 35 states with Medicaid programs or organizations to supply rides to and from Medicaid appointments. 

There are different ways of using rideshares for Medicaid enrollees. Uber and Lyft don’t operate the same way for Medicaid enrollees as they do for the traditional rideshare passenger. Instead of using a smartphone to order an Uber or Lyft, the passenger …
