智能手机的广泛采用以及交通网络公司(TNC)的出现影响了个人的出行方式。作者使用2017年全国家庭旅行调查来探索与跨国公司用户相关的社会经济、使用频率和空间特征。结果表明，与美国总人口相比，跨国公司的骑手往往更年轻，收入更高，教育水平更高，更有可能居住在城市地区。在TNC用户中，60%的人在上个月叫了三次或更少的车，表明TNC服务主要用于特殊场合。与美国总人口相比，跨国公司用户使用公共交通的比率更高，拥有的车辆更少。事实上，跨国公司用户群体报告说，上个月跨国公司服务和公共交通的使用频率相似。大约40%的跨国公司用户居住在人口密度超过每平方英里10,000人的地区，而非跨国公司用户只有15%。最后，据报道，居住在大城市(100万人)的跨国公司用户使用公共交通的比例几乎是没有重轨的类似规模城市的三倍。当有重轨时，TNC的月平均使用频率也增加了。
The widespread adoption of smartphones followed by an emergence of transportation network companies (TNC) have influenced the way individuals travel. The authors use the 2017 National Household Travel Survey to explore socioeconomic, frequency of use, and spatial characteristics associated with TNC users. The results indicate that TNC riders tend to be younger, earn higher incomes, have higher levels of education, and are more likely to reside in urban areas compared to the aggregate United States population. Of the TNC users, 60% hailed a ride three times or less in the previous month, indicating that TNC services are primarily used for special occasions. TNC users use public transit at higher rates and own fewer vehicles compared to the aggregate United States population. In fact, the TNC user population reported similar frequencies of use for both TNC services and public transit during the previous month. Approximately 40% of TNC users reside in regions with population densities greater than 10, 000 persons per square mile compared to only 15% for non-TNC users. Lastly, reported use of public transit for TNC users living in large cities (> 1 million) with access to heavy rail was almost three times greater when compared to similar sized cities without heavy rail. The average monthly frequency of TNC use was also elevated when heavy rail was present.
