Ridesharing (also known as carpooling) platforms are becoming more popular daily. But one has to wonder – why is ridesharing different? What are the benefits that come from this type of service?

Below we have listed five reasons why you should consider ridesharing!

Helps Save Money
For Drivers –
If you choose to be a driver, you can earn a great income either as a full-time driver or as a part-time gig, especially for those with regular 9 to 5 jobs.

Having the power to control your schedule, you can fix the date and time you wish to offer rides, ensuring your regular routine does not suffer while the cool extra cash can cover the cost of fuel, toll gate fees and even the maintenance and repair of their vehicles.

For Passengers –
Low fee is one of the biggest benefits of ridesharing. You get to pay much lower when compared to traditional taxis, cabs and even the well-known e-hailing platforms. This is because you get to share the fare with other occupants of the vehicle.

A Very Convenient Option
Carpooling is a very flexible option that allows you schedule your rides, unlike other e-hailing services that are only available on-the-go. Irrespective of your needs, you can find people with a similar schedule or who can add you to their drive route on the days you need a ride. It is this flexibility that makes it a very convenient option for anyone with a long commuting need.

Connect With People
The ridesharing platform provides the opportunity to meet and network with new people every day. This helps you create new connections, interact with people in the industry, and in the end, it will just help you with your networking endeavour

Carpooling Helps the Environment
Carpooling cuts down on the number of cars and vehicles on the road. Fewer cars mean there are less carbon emission and pollution getting into the air. This protects the environment by keeping the air, water, and land cleaner.

Health Benefit
According to several health reports and research, air pollution caused by the gas emissions from vehicles can significantly increase the chances of health issues such as lung cancer, asthma, allergies, and the likes. Reducing the number of cars on the road will go a long way to help combat some of the health issues. Research data has also suggested that ridesharing can be far less stressful than simply commuting on your own.

Ridesharing is an amazing service for both drivers and riders alike. Regardless you are a driver or rider; you are bound to enjoy all the benefits mentioned above.
