Ridesharing App
Ridesharing apps are top-rated today. The popularity of such apps is due to the dependence on smartphones and rising technology. As a result, such apps have become a comfortable and convenient way to travel.
According to Statista, in the third quarter of 2020, Lyft's adjusted total revenue worldwide was more than $2.8 bn; it was up 46% from the previous quarter when the company achieved $2 bn.
Ridesharing companies like Lyft work on the same concept of ride-sharing apps. Moreover, the increase in air pollution makes ride-sharing apps an eco-friendly solution for travelling. By using the shared journeys, you can also collaborate in reducing air pollution. In addition, by using a ridesharing app, you can also help in reducing traffic congestion and issues of parking spaces.
