Access Without Excess Ride Sharing Takes to the Skies

Do you remember the last time you took a taxi? If you’re younger than 30, that answer may well be “never.” That’s the impact that ride-sharing services have had in major cities and smaller towns throughout the country. While there are many advantages to this method of travel, efficiency is the major reason society has embraced this technology-driven way to get across town. A tap of a smartphone app gives you a range of information in order to make an informed decision: price, ride availability, time, and distance. You benefit from not having to use your own car for a one-off trip, and the operator can maximize the value of a vehicle that might otherwise be sitting idle in a garage.
