How do ride sharing apps work?
With ride-sharing, passengers can find a ride via a mobile app. A ride-sharing app finds the closest available car and matches it with a passenger. Passengers know instantly when a vehicle will arrive and, based on this information, can accept or decline the ride with a driver.
What was the purpose of creating carpools?
Ridesharing or carpooling began as a conservation method to save rubber, gas, and wear-and-tear on vehicles during the Second World War. In the 1940s, before computer databases and automated matching, the U.S. Office of Civilian Defense operated a Car Sharing Club Exchange and Self-Dispatching System.
