The statement " Uber and Lyft have reduced mass transit use" doesn't contain a value judgement. It's simply stating the most likely explanation for the observed data. But advocacy against ride-sharing is probably a good use for mass transit advocates' time: this trend drains the financial resources from mass transit, it further reduces the group of people interested in public transit to the poor, who have less political influence. And it creates more traffic, where now even more often a bus with 60 passengers is held up by three cars with one passenger each, preferably blocking traffic while unloading.
