Yup. I ditched my car because of uber/lyft. the problem, from a business perspective, is that I live in silicon valley, and still have the expensive parts of owning a car; there's still the parking that came with my residence, and my employer is still paying for parking at work. (I dunno about you, but my desk is rather smaller than a car parking spot.) If Uber/Lyft were to raise their prices to profit-making levels, all I would have to do is buy the car, which is, as far as I can tell, not the most expensive part of the infrastructure required to support owning a car, at least not in my area. If uber/lyft want to make this sticky enough that they can raise their rates, they need to hurry to lobby the cities to build housing without parking, or otherwise allow me to opt-out of buying car infrastructure, otherwise... well, yeah, I'm going to get driven when it's subsidized (I take uber and lyft, whatever is cheapest) but once that subsidy goes away? if it becomes as expensive as I think it will, I'm just going to buy a car again.
