Title: People are using Uber instead of ambulances
Post by: SSH Shamma on December 25, 2017, 11:47:31 PM

When you're in need of a ride to the hospital do you call for ambulance or order an Uber?

It may sound like a silly question, but a recent study revealed that ambulance usage is dropping in the United States, and researchers believe ride sharing services like Uber are to blame.

A research paper released on Wednesday, showed the findings of David Slusky, a Department of Economics professor at University of Kansas, and Dr. Leon Moskatel of Scripps Mercy Hospital's Department of Medicine. The two compared ambulance usage rates in 766 U.S. cities both before and after Uber was introduced (between 2013 to 2015).
