Southeast Asia is home to some of the most gridlocked cities in the world, making traffic an accepted part of daily life. Go-Jek offers a way to minimise this disruption through on-demand motorcycle taxis that not only help people get around, but which bring a range of services to their doorstep.

Accounting for nearly three-quarters of the US market, Uber is the undisputed leader in ride-sharing apps. However, amid a series of high-profile scandals, the company’s reputation has been tarnished among Americans. So, how is rival service Lyft appealing to the ethically-minded consumer?

France may not be keen on Uber, but the country has fallen in love with another ride-sharing platform, BlaBlaCar, which allows people to take up free car seats on other people’s journeys. Boasting 20 million members across 19 countries, what’s behind the start-up’s success?
