 In a comparison taking into account only taxis and transport platforms per application, the survey reveals that more than half of Brazilians (65%), especially those between 18 and 34 years (77%), agree that they began to use more transport by Application in place of taxis depending on the price offered. 58% also cited the superior quality of the service.

"In order for the urban mobility equation to be extended to all and to guarantee attributes such as efficiency, safety and ecological awareness, it is still necessary to have public policies and concrete investments that encourage the collective transport of quality, the integration And the best planning of the occupation of the public space ", he explains.
