has an idea to solve the issue - Add to surcharge fees from these ride hailing apps and spend the money in to mass transit. It might not be that bad except government budgets tend to divert money to other purposes and the mass transit might remain the same.
I do wish companies pushed towards more pooling services like UberPool etc.
- iamdave 9y agoI do wish companies pushed towards more pooling services like UberPool etc. I can't recall their name off the top of my head, but there's a company piloting this here in Austin Texas; they exclusively do poolsharing and have a fleet of vans that you'll see following close to some of the same routes as CapMetro does in the city core (if anyone else lives here and can think of the name please share it, they drive the blue and grey vans). It's something I only even learned about because my company signed on with them as a service to the workforce a few months ago; people who live south, but work in the North Austin office can park their cars in our garage downtown, and use the shuttle to get north. People who live north, but work in the downtown office park at the North office, and shuttle downtown. Or if you have a meeting at North office but work downtown, shuttles leave every two hours. As someone who has a car, but takes the bus (because for me there would be no transfers and the total ride lasts about 15 minutes) to work, it's been such a game changer.
