What if it made you an extra $6000 per month? Even $3000?
Obviously the market would adjust from current taxi rates, but this is based off of the following rough estimate:
20 hours per day of you not driving * 30 days * 11$ avg taxi take-home per hour[1] = $6600

- ant6n 9y agoI think the calculus is more that people won't own their own cars, because it will cost 10k/year to own, but 2k/year to buy trips.
- dx034 9y agoMost car owners today could save money by owning a different car, reducing the cars in the household or using more public transport. Owning a car is (for most) not just a necessity, it's an expression of freedom. Being reliant on a car sharing app is not ideal for everyone, esp. families.
