Rideshares Outperform Taxis in an Emergency, Shows Study

A recent study conducted by the University of Kansas has found that rideshares, such as Uber and Lyft, outperform traditional taxis in emergency situations.

The study analyzed data from emergency medical services (EMS) in 766 U.S. cities and found that rideshares were able to respond to emergency calls faster than taxis in 93% of cases. The study also found that rideshares were more likely to transport patients to the hospital within the recommended time frame.

One of the reasons for this is the use of GPS technology by rideshare drivers, which allows them to quickly navigate to the location of the emergency. Additionally, rideshare drivers are often more readily available than taxi drivers, who may be busy with other fares or not in the immediate area.

The study's findings have important implications for emergency medical services, as faster response times can mean the difference between life and death for patients in need of urgent medical attention.

Overall, the study suggests that rideshares are a valuable addition to the transportation options available in emergency situations, and may even be a more effective option than traditional taxis.
