Users Willingness to Pay for Careem App Transportation in Pakistan: A Case Study of District Faisalabad
The use of Ride-hailing services like Careem and Uber has increased nowadays. The Careem service operates in different cities of Pakistan. The objective of this study was to estimate the user's willingness to pay for the App-based transportation of Careem in the district of Faisalabad. To achieve the aim of this study, primary data were collected from App-based users through a well-designed questionnaire. Interviews were conducted in this regard from 140 users of the Careem App collected, randomly selected in three localities in district Faisalabad. i.e. Government College University Faisalabad, University of Agriculture Faisalabad and Sheikh Colony Faisalabad. The study suggested that the government should promote such kinds of facilities based on Apps and make investments. It not only facilitates the users but also creates employment opportunities.
