PyBer leadership has asked for analysis reviewing rade data to help improve access to ride-sharing services and determine affordability in underserved neighboorhoods.
PyBer Summary Data based on City Type:
Key findings:
- Large proportion of rides come in Urban city types; these are also the lowest average fare.
- Urban cities have more drivers than riders, indicating that driver supply may be too high relative to rider demand.
- Rural riders generate the highest fares, potentially indicating longer fares.
- Incentivize new rural drivers or existing drivers taking more trips to meet excess demand
- PyBer could work to generate more demand in support of of the excess driver capacity in Urban cities.
- Oversupply of urban drivers indicates inefficiency - excess drivers should consider Suburban routes to increase productivity. PyBer could work to generate more demand in support of of the excess capacity.
