The ride-hailing apps Uber and Lyft now account for over 50 percent of claims for ground transportation expenses on T&E reports, according to a new estimate.

It found that Uber accounts for 48 percent of ground transportation expenses, while Lyft makes up 4 percent of the total. In contrast, spending on traditional taxis has declined more than 63 percent since the first quarter of 2014.
