“Ride sharing” begins in Tokyo first in the country. Rideshare services began in Tokyo's 23 wards, Musashino City, and Mitaka City on the 8th.
Nine drivers are self-employed people and housewives in their 20s to 50s with ordinary licenses. The fare is the same as a taxi and can be used using a ride-hailing app, and the service is also available in other vehicles in Tokyo. "Ridesharing" is only permitted in areas, days of the week, and times when there is a shortage of taxis.
