Are ride-hailing apps a benefit to society?

Ride-hailing apps connect passengers with drivers quickly, safely, and efficiently. Passengers are provided with their driver's ID and car information before their car arrives. Passengers can also share their real-time route and driver details with friends or family which adds more security.

Ride-hailing apps are bad for the environment. At least 40% of the time, drivers travel alone from one drop off point to the next pick up location. This adds more miles, contributing to more congestion and vehicle emissions that wouldn’t exist without ride-hailing.
