Price-waiting trade-offs in ride-hailing platforms
Aikaterini Giannoutsou, Andrew Daw
University of Southern California, United States of America
We present a model for studying a ride-hailing platform that is faced with price and delay sensitive riders and drivers, and is considering offering two different service classes which are differentiated in prices and delays. We explore the “price of two sides”, show that the preferences of drivers impact the delays the riders experience and demonstrate that achieving the “full optimum" of price differentiation may not be feasible or optimal for a platform in all market conditions.
Shared-ride efficiency of ride-hailing platforms
Terry Taylor
UC Berkeley, United States of America
Ride-hailing platforms offering shared rides devote effort to reducing improving shared-ride efficiency: reducing the trip-lengthening detours that accommodate fellow customers' divergent transportation needs. Contrary to naive intuition, we show: greater customer sensitivity to shared-ride delay and greater labor cost can reduce the value of improving shared-ride efficiency; and an increase in shared-ride efficiency can prompt a platform to add individual-ride service.
