Shared rides are not illegal, but shared rides in "black cars" will be identified as illegal operations by law enforcement officers.

The definition of shared rides is: a way of travel for several people with the same travel route to take one of the people's cars together. According to whether the cost is shared, it can be divided into public welfare shared rides and mutual aid shared rides; according to the mode of shared rides, it can be divided into long-term shared rides for commuting to and from work and long-distance shared rides for returning home during holidays and traveling.

It is recommended that all parties to the shared ride clarify their respective rights and obligations such as travel routes, ride locations, safety responsibilities, and cost sharing through the signing of a shared ride agreement, and verify information before shared rides to ensure driving standards and safety. The "Shared Ride Agreement" states: If one party fails to fulfill its verification obligations and causes losses, it shall compensate the other party; losses that cannot be claimed shall be borne by itself.

Shared ride websites should provide guidance and assistance to citizens for shared rides by providing shared ride information, shared ride agreement texts, shared ride operation procedures, online signing services, and shared ride credit assessment.

Before sharing a ride, passengers should first protect their own rights and interests, and verify the other party's information before signing an agreement. Judge from the condition of the car, whether the contract is signed, and whether the other party has a legitimate occupation, so as to avoid the harm caused by the other party being an illegal taxi driver or an illegal occupation. Once a passenger signs an agreement with an illegal taxi driver, it is indeed difficult for law enforcement officers to enforce the law. In addition, the premise of investigating and punishing illegal taxis is that passengers enter their information. If passengers protect illegal taxi drivers, it is difficult for law enforcement officers to enforce the law.
