For sure. And NYC is a bit of an outlier, given that it probably has the best public transit infrastructure in all of the United States. That being said, I don't see why a potential future "Uberized" public transportation system couldn't offer flat rates, or even lower rates to people with lower incomes.

The true stupidity of the pro-Uber flock is that they are accepting Uber's "innovative" business as the solution instead of looking at what the real innovation would be: a decently funded public transit system in the USA.
