Lots of people ask about the business model for these companies. The base model should be explained here then every company which does this should have a "business model" section which links here. If anyone has any sources talking about the business model of these sources of companies generally, then please share. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:15, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
I would like to dispute the tag regarding regional bias. The legal concept of a TNC only exists in California, so it is totally appropriate that this article only covers that region. An article doesn't need to cover regions where its topic doesn't apply. MakeBelieveMonster ( talk) 19:24, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
The definition of TNC needs to be expanded in the summary to include more than just matching passengers to drivers. There is now at least one TNC for aviation called Flapper (company), Uber has moved into the boating space, and there is another TNC for boats called GetMyBoat.

Moved per revised proposal below. bd2412 T 22:36, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
Transportation network company → Ridesharing – Ridesharing is by far the most popular term used now in national and international publications and on search. Alternative: Ridesharing company
Proposal is to add disambiguation at top of page: "See also carpooling, vanpooling, and peer-to-peer ridesharing", change the wording inside this article, and also move Legality of transportation network companies by jurisdiction to Legality of ridesharing companies by jurisdiction. I recognize that the proposed move to ridesharing is not a direct substitute for ridesharing company (that's an alternative option - there is an odd gap between rideshare->mainly carpools - and ridesharing/mainly leads to these companies). I believe a move away from transportation network company will be ultimately beneficial to knowledge and reflect WP:COMMONNAME.

– Ridesharing company is the proposed move target, as it is a WP:COMMON term used now in national and international publications and on search. I do recognize that Ridehailing company is also proposed and used by many sources, though I believe the usage is not quite as common, it is still a good choice and improvement.
There are also conflicting usages of rideshare/ridehailing, including by the same media sources above (NYT - [9], WSJ [10], and even by the AP, which has used both - [11] [12]. Ultimately, I believe the broader popularity of usage is with ridesharing company especially considering search: Google Trends has rideshare at 60, ridesharing at 3, ridehailing at 1, ridehail at <1, transportation network company at 1 for the week of Sept 15 - 21, 2019.

Ridesharing means sharing a ride with other passengers. This is different from what most of these companies offer. This is rightly discussed also in the article. So why this improper name? -- Ita140188 ( talk) 09:11, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Jerm ( talk) 01:47, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Ridesharing company → Ride-hailing company – While many publications report the incorrect term ridesharing, the proper term for the service described in this article is ride-hailing. The name ridesharing for this page is also misleading as there are also proper ridesharing services, where more than one passenger share the same ride. The page was moved from the less used but less ambiguous transportation network company with very limited discussion and dubious consensus. Ita140188 ( talk) 14:56, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
I propose to merge Peer-to-peer ridesharing into Ridesharing company. I think that the content in the Peer-to-peer ridesharing article can easily be explained in the context of Ridesharing company, and the Ridesharing company article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Peer-to-peer ridesharing will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwriter700 ( talk • contribs) 20:20, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
Despite multiple efforts to re-name the category, it still is commonly referred to as, "ridesharing". – wbm1058 ( talk) 00:53, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
