摘要: Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) are changing the transportation ecosystem, but micro-decisions of drivers and users need to be better understood assess system-level impacts TNCs. In this regard, we contribute literature by estimating a) individuals' preferences being a rider, driver, or non-user TNC services; b) ridehailing for ridepooling; c) drivers' choice switch vehicles with fuel economy, also d) decision buy, rent lease new driving TNCs major consideration. Elicitation using unique sample (N=11,902) U.S. population residing in TNC-served areas is key feature study. The statistical analysis indicates that services mainly attracting personal vehicle as riders, without substantially affecting demand transit. Moreover, around 10% reported postponing purchase car due availability services. model estimation results indicate likelihood user increases increase age someone younger than 44 years, pattern reversed post years. This change direction marginal effect insightful previous studies have negative association. We find postgraduate who live metropolitan regions more likely fuel-efficient vehicles. These findings would inform planners developing policies improve economy fleet.
