Ridesourcing

Ride sourcing is an ongoing arrangement where: the driver makes a car available for public hire by passengers, a passenger uses a website or an app (third party digital platform such as Uber, GoCatch, or others) to request a ride, and the driver uses the car to transport the passenger for a fee. Drivers are at the heart of ride-sourcing and need to interact with both passengers and the platform by supplying a service.
