“…Studies suggest that ridesharing provides societal benefits such as increases in consumer surplus (Cohen et al, 2016), efficiency (Cachon et al, 2017), and less low-quality entrepreneurial activity (Burtch et al, 2018), but there is also evidence of detrimental effects like increased congestion and more accidents (Barrios et al, 2020), and privacy threats (Cheng et al, 2021). Thus, judgments concerning the benefits of ridesharing depend on the considered outcome and on the context where it takes place.…”

Formal institutions, for example, regulations, are considered crucial determinants of entrepreneurship, but what enables regulatory change when there is a regulatory void, meaning entrepreneurship clashes with existing regulations? Drawing on public choice theory, we hypothesize that regulatory freedom facilitates the introduction of legislation to fill such voids. We test this hypothesis using unique data documenting the time for ridesharing to become legalized at the state level across the United States following its local (and often illegal) rollout. Results suggest states with greater regulatory freedom passed ridesharing legislation quicker, highlighting an underappreciated way that extant regulatory freedom facilitates the accommodation of entrepreneurship.

“…Although Lyft is also present in the US market, Uber dominates the current market share (2). However, if we're being realistic, this system increases traffic and congestion, the Vehicle Kilometers Traveled (VKT) index, and the subsequent accidents when it takes the place of public transportation, notably traditional taxis (3).…”

With the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the public transportation industry faced new challenges. This disease may have affected the decision of users in choosing travel modes by diluting the strengths of ridesharing. In this study, our aim was to investigate the opinions of users on the Twitter application pre- and post-pandemic about travel time in ridesharing. For this purpose, we analyzed 63,800 tweets from January 1, 2019 to April 30, 2022, focusing on the countries of the United States and India, taking into account the characteristics of users such as age and gender. The method we used was LDA for topic modelling and BERT for sentiment analysis. Our results show that trip time happening, such as mornings and other times, became more important after COVID-19 and users' concern about waiting time has increased. After the pandemic, men are more worried about the waiting time, while women and younger groups are worried about the time cost. Before the pandemic, older people gave more importance to waiting time, but after the pandemic, they are more concerned about the time cost and the trip time happening. We also found that women and US users were more positive than others about ridesharing trip time in the pre-pandemic era. Our findings showed that two main factors, the pandemic and the country, greatly affect sentiment, and the positive sentiment of the users of both countries increased after the epidemic, which was higher among all groups for the elderly and American users. Our results can be used to analyze the sentiments of ridesharing industry users in order to compete with other public transportation companies by providing better services and designing a standard to improve travel time.

“…attributed a 62% spike in average vehicle transport delays in San Francisco from 2010 to 2016, surpassing the counterfactual scenario of a mere 22% growth in the absence of TNCs. Tarduno (2021) leveraged a natural experiment arising from the abrupt suspension of Uber and Lyft services in Austin, Texas, estimating an average daily traffic speed reduction of 2.3%, coupled with annual congestion costs ranging between 33 and 52 million dollars Barrios et al (2023). linked the advent of TNCs with a 3% uptick in fatal accidents, impacting both vehicle occupants and pedestrians.…”

Objetivo: Investigar a hipótese de que existem justificativas jurídicas, econômicas e socioambientais para o adensamento da regulação urbanística dos aplicativos de transporte individual privado de passageiros no Brasil e analisar parâmetros que contribuam para sua formulação. Metodologia: Abordagem multidisciplinar de direito e políticas públicas desenvolvida por Bucci (2013 e 2017), Bucci e Coutinho (2017), Ribeiro (2019) e outros, articulando conceitos teóricos de Direito do Estado e de Direito Econômico e elementos de pesquisas empíricas voltadas à relação entre aplicativos de transporte individual privado de passageiros e o meio urbano, com o intuito de dirigir uma visão prospectiva às justificativas e às possibilidades de regulação urbanística dessa atividade econômica no Brasil. Originalidade: A partir do teste da hipótese enunciada, argumenta-se de que a exploração econômica promovida pelos aplicativos de transporte individual privado de passageiros representa novo tipo de uso da via urbana, cujos impactos ensejam a formulação de parâmetros próprios de regulação urbanística. Resultados: A partir dos métodos de análise da abordagem Direito e Políticas Públicas, foram analisados aspectos do regime de exploração dos bens públicos e resultados de pesquisas empíricas sobre as externalidades da atividade dos aplicativos, identificando-se justificativas para o aprofundamento e adensamento de sua regulação urbanística. O Decreto n.º 56.981/2016 do Município de São Paulo, analisado à luz de seus efeitos sob o critério da efetividade (Salinas, 2013; Ribeiro 2021; 2010a; 2010b), colocou essa dimensão no centro de sua intervenção e oferece parâmetros úteis à formulação de regras de conteúdo urbanístico de maior abrangência e densidade normativa. Contribuição: A natureza e os impactos da atividade das empresas que operam aplicativos de transporte individual privado de passageiros demandam o aprofundamento do debate sobre sua regulação urbanística, de modo a conformar a atividade à luz dos objetivos da política urbana positivados no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro.
