Abstract

[pt] O presente estudo teve como objetivo entender as motivações e percepções de taxistas e passageiros quanto à adoção dos aplicativos móveis de táxi. A pesquisa foi motivada pelo crescimentos desses aplicativos e pelo interesse de entender os benefícios trazidos aos usuários. Por meio de um questionário online com 123 passageiros de táxis e entrevistas em profundidade com 8 taxistas do Rio de Janeiro, foram identificadas diversas opiniões e comportamentos: motivações para adoção do sistema, satisfação quanto ao serviço oferecido, as principais críticas e melhorias. Os resultados demonstraram que as principais motivações são a praticidade e segurança. Os problemas dividem-se em cancelamentos, precisão do GPS e falha na comunicação. Porém, apesar de muitas melhorias sugeridas pode-se afirmar a satisfação dos usuários entrevistados com esses aplicativos. ; [en] This study aimed to understand the motivations and perceptions of taxi drivers and passengers on the adoption of cab mobile applications.
