While shared transport has gained momentum in recent years, in variety of areas, most forms of ride sharing are currently prohibited in Israel.

This paper, written by Sefi Keller, Tzviya Zicherman, Meir Buchnik and Ariel Erlich, presents a proposal for thoroughly reforming the transport industry in Israel, opening the market and allowing for shared transport (confined here to transport in private cars).

Research has shown multiple beneficial effects to shared transport in scores of large cities around the world: price reduction, increase of accessibility, car accidents reduction, the potential relief of traffic congestion, the creation of flexible jobs, environment improvement, paving the way for autonomous vehicles and more.
