To be fair most money to be earned in this space is within the cities, so it's still going to happen. Most well off households will be dual-ownership. A personal car for longer, weekend, social trips and share owned for the daily commuter nonsense.
- kelnos 9y agoI already live like this, though without the commute (I walk). I use Lyft for shorter, in-city trips, and drive my car when I want to leave the city. It's honestly not a great use of money: my maintenance cycles are longer (though don't quite scale down linearly with decreasing use), but I still have to pay for parking and (slightly discounted) insurance. But I grew up in the suburbs and can't kick the habit of owning a car. I feel like it'd be cheaper to ditch my car and rent one from something like Getaround or Turo (or even from a legacy car rental service) when I need one for longer trips, but having a car that's mine is too embedded in my lifestyle.
