"While ride-sharing has been credited with being more environmentally friendly than taxis and private vehicles," a new study from the the Future Urban Mobility (FM) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT, and Tongji University assessing the impacts of ride-sharing on urban mobility in the U.S. found that "the entrance of TNCs [Transportation Network Companies] led to increased road congestion in terms of both intensity and duration." The study also found that public transit ridership decreased by 8.9 percent, while private car ownership experienced an "insignificant decrease of only 1 percent."
