Therefore, governing bodies of several nations are primarily focused on the elimination of major sources of pollution, which in turn is expected to result in implementation of stringent emission norms and incentives for alternative fuel and transportation services. Ride-hailing services have proven to be effective in reducing the number of vehicle ownership, which in turn is expected to lead to significant decline in pollution levels.
