The key to successful transportation is more than convenience and reliability. It also includes aspects of flexibility, increased savings and more. Transport needs may vary from one individual to another. However, that does not mean that you need different platforms for the same service, even if the purpose may be distinct. Until now, there have been platforms offering specific transport needs, but what we need is a one-stop-shop solution to fulfill those distinct needs through a revolutionizing mobility marketplace that makes traveling more easy, reliable and relevant to the needs of this generation while ensuring fair mobility and enhanced rider experiences.
Different needs but similar benefits
As stated above, transportation needs might differ from user to user. What do remains constant is the end benefits users expect. Every user has the expectation of a transport platform that gives them maximum savings, a fair price, ease of access i.e. convenience and other benefits including flexibility, reliability, mobility and an enhanced user experience. These needs have been met through the ride-sharing concept where users have been dependent on carpooling for distinct needs. This is a proof as the ridesharing industry in the USA for 2018 amounted to $17,191m. Even though ridesharing has gone mainstream, the current alternatives have lacked in providing services that benefit the users, making the process less trustworthy and memorable. Instead, the platforms are running on similar concepts, creating a big gap in the mobility marketplace.
Gaps in the Marketplace
Ridesharing companies have split the marketplace based on distinct transport needs. This has resulted in numerous applications providing similar alternatives to users. They only have the freedom to choose a particular provider based on the type of transport they are looking for. With multiple options for the same need, users end up in a confuse state as they need to make decisions from multiple platforms on their devices.
Meaning: It not only involves choosing a platform but downloading the applications and registering accounts on those multiple platforms. This leads to unnecessary time consumption as users register similar details with all the alternatives, while the benefits being the same. Users can also experience weak decision-making as it leads to price comparisons among multiple platforms with varying policies creating confusion. However, the ridesharing concept is based on the idea to provide a quick solution with easy access through a platform that makes their decision-making fast, without making them confuse between alternatives, saving their time and money.
Lack of benefits with current alternatives
Users are entitled to various benefits that the current ridesharing platforms are incapable to fulfill. To begin with, lack of flexibility to choose a driving partner. In addition to this, companies are ripping off drivers as well as users. Most of the companies keep their commission system vague, which makes it difficult to asses the actual fare of the rides for the users, and the earnings for the drivers.
A critical point to remember here is that transportation is a social experience. We travel every day whether for work or vacations. A key element of this travel is the different experiences users might come across with other travelers they meet throughout the journey. Ridesharing makes transportation less monotonous and more of a social experience and interaction among the people involved in the process. From drivers to other users, ridesharing enhances the whole traveling experience for everyone involved in the process.
Another benefit that the users lack is to have ridesharing as an option for travel journeys. Until now, ridesharing has been limited to short distances, where users get the experience within city boundaries. But, ridesharing for travel journeys can enhance the user experience in multiple ways. The users not only get the social experience of ridesharing on travel journeys, but it also helps them to save money on gas. The expenses are much higher if users travel alone. Ridesharing can impact largely on their budgets, giving them increased savings, and also a feeling of contributing towards a better environment by reducing the number of vehicles on the road. The current alternatives lack this flexibility of ridesharing on long trips making the process inconvenient, costly and monotonous for various users.
