we can anecdata whatever numbers we want at each other, the point is the shift from upfront/sunk-cost to utilization cost will give every actor more information and better price signaling to work with. And the shift to fleet/service-provider from individual consumer for the assets themselves will cut a massive amount of the fashion-premium out of the costs.
You could argue that with this greater efficiency will come a jevons paradox like greater consumption. And that will probably be true in-aggregate, but I think thats going to skew toward more short trips per day (off-peak) than longer commutes (peak).
