Researchers at the University of California Davis found that 47% of Uber and Lyft trips replaced other modes of transport like public transit, walking, or cycling.
The analysis highlights that 62% of surveyed ride-hail users were from the San Francisco Bay Area, showcasing a notable regional concentration in the data.
Ride-hail services are inducing trips, with nearly 6% of analyzed journeys being 'induced travel', meaning they would not occur if these services were unavailable.
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers recommend improving public transit and effectively connecting ride-hail services to public transport, particularly in low-demand areas.
