Did you know it’s often better for the environment to choose a traditional taxi over a ride-sharing app like Uber or Lyft? Studies show that ride-hailing services can increase vehicle emissions by as much as 70% due to “deadheading” -- the time drivers spend cruising without passengers while waiting for ride requests. That extra driving wastes fuel and adds to traffic congestion. In many cities, taxis are more tightly regulated, must meet stricter fuel-efficiency standards, and typically wait in designated pickup lines rather than circling for fares, making them the more eco-friendly option.
