Sharing economicy is a business model that, thanks to the latest technological advances, enables the harmonization of supply and demand via network platforms. The public perception of shared goods has changed substantially in the past few years. While the sharing economy in the accommodation sector has been widely accepted for some time, the sharing economy in transport can only be said to be gaining in popularity recently. The reason for this is certainly the development of cities and population growth. The aim of this paper is to present the sharing economy through its various definitions and characteristics, drivers and participants, and to point out their motives for participating in the sharing economy. Also, the purpose of this paper is to show sharing economy in transport which takes place through ride-sharing platforms, car-sharing platforms and ride-hailing platforms. The topic of this paper focuses on the sharing economy through ride-hailing platforms, and in accordance with that, a primary research was conducted with the aim of determining the attitudes of users about such platforms in the Republic of Croatia. The results of the research showed that the majority of respondents used ride-hailing services in the Republic of Croatia and have a positive attitude towards them.
