> One person hailing an Uber takes up an entire car's worth of space on the road: 4 seats, an engine, and a trunk. One person riding a bus takes a single bus seat on a vehicle that can hold 20+ people in a minimum of space.
I was on a train the other day and counted around 35 people in my car (there were other cars too). I was imagining the energy and congestion generated by 35 cars compared to the one train car.
If more people used public transit, there would be more availability (more routes and more frequent vehicles on each route).
