1. When the VC money runs out, timeshare will still beat taxis on price until something changes with the regulatory landscape, because a good chunk of each ride goes into meeting bad government regulations. 2. Its not meant to be an even playing field; that timeshare can outcompeted Taxis without any adverse social effect demonstrates the inefficiencies imposed on the industry by way of useless regulation. 3. I don't doubt there are bad rideshare stories. This doesn't mean ride share is somehow less safe than taxis, hence fear mongering. 5. Drivers seem to love ride share as far as I can tell, so the McDonalds/Walmart comparisons aren't apt, even if I was certain that Walmart and McDonalds are unethical companies.
