Abstract:

Over the past three decades, ride sharing service has been developing worldwide
rapidly. Ride sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, which use modern internet-
based mobile technology to connect passengers and drivers. Personal vehicle
sharing provides short-term access to privately-owned vehicles. The goal of this
research was to prepare an in-depth study of the feasibility of ride-sharing service in
Dhaka city to effectively asses the business opportunities and social effects of this
alternative of transportation. I analyzed the social and financial aspects of the
feasibility of this service idea through a survey and interviews. I also examined the
key factors to implement future ride-sharing service in Dhaka. The data for this
research is collected from forty samples that had to answer from their experiences
through a close ended questionnaire. I found most of the people are quite
dissatisfied with current transportation mode. Majority of people will adapt this new
transportation service if better service experience is provided, security is assured
and cost is kept minimum.
