... 13 Introduction While the pattern differs in degrees among the regions studied, TNCs appear to primarily serve core urban areas for shorter trips, with peak TNC demand in a few specific areas at times when activity is high, but transit service is infrequent. TNCs seem to be used in a way that differs from traditional commute modes.

... Trip-Making Characteristics 17 the more typical estimated trip lengths there were in the middle of the pack compared with the other regions included in this study. Though the survey conducted for this study did not ask about trip distance in a way that is directly comparable (in part because these trip lengths are estimates derived from the odd-shaped ZCTA geographies)

... 20 Broadening Understanding of the Interplay Among Public Transit, Shared Mobility, and Personal Automobiles TNCs are changing the mix of airport-related transportation revenues (e.g., parking charges; rental car, taxi, van, and TNC fees; and fare surcharges on dedicated public transit links) and spatial requirements (e.g., pickup/dropoff locations, staging lots, and parking for personal vehicles)
