researchers from Fundação Getulio
Vargas to assess how the e-hailing
company may contribute to feeding
São Paulo’s public transit system,
particularly its metro lines. The study
will address a wide range of questions:
• At what price would people be
motivated to renounce a car-only
trip and decide to combine a car
and metro ride instead?
• How may income levels, gender,
and age affect these commuters’
choices?
• What
other
factors

influence their decisions (e.g.
personal security)?
The study will provide unique
insights into the potential of e-hailing
for first and last-mile connectivity
across one of Latin America’s largest
cities. If ride-hailing is deemed to be a
promising option for feeding public
transit, policies could be adapted to
allow for payment integration
between public and e-hailing modes,
set differentiated public-transport overcome gender barriers in urban
fares for e-hailing transfers, among transport. Stay tuned for the results!
