Uber and Lyft made up more than half of total ground
transportation transactions processed by expense management supplier Certify
during the third quarter.
Among the more than 10 million business traveler receipts
and expenses analyzed by Certify during the quarter, Uber accounted for 48
percent of ground transportation transactions and Lyft accounted for 4 percent.
Last year, the two apps, when combined, outpaced each taxis
and car
rental companies in total transactions, the third quarter of 2016 marked
the first time the ride-hailing segment passed taxis and car rentals combined.
Taxis made up 12 percent of ground transportation
transactions processed by Certify during the third quarter, down 2 percentage
points from the previous quarter. Car rental suppliers' share dropped 1
percentage point quarter over quarter to 36 percent, though it's worth noting
that one car rental transaction provides the traveler with multiple rides.
