Abstract
As an industrial revolution booms in Chile, the country’s air has been flooded by toxic emissions. Urban cities face the worst of the pollution, as factories are booming and urban centers are growing. Indeed, one of the main contributors towards the accumulation of PM2.5 are cars. Sharing trips may help reduce the number of private and public vehicles on the road and cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, travel time and individual costs. In this research I apply the concept of shareability networks to a survey of 113,591 of trips taken in the city of Santiago in Chile, showing that with increasing but still relatively low passenger discomfort, cumulative trip length can be cut by 50% or more. I quantify the benefit of ride sharing in terms of traffic and emission reduction. I finally show that the ride sharing potential is substantial, with nearly 100% of the trips shareable with current public transportation trip demand.
