- visarga 8y agoAlmost everyone does, though.
- CydeWeys 8y agoMost people where I live (Manhattan) do not own their own car. We don't all live in the suburbs. And the scooter rentals are clearly targeting cities, not suburbs.
- alasdair_ 8y ago>Almost everyone does, though. Not in London (or, indeed, much of the UK). Not in Manhattan. Not any city where parking can take 20 minutes to find and costs $30+ a day.
- toomuchtodo 8y ago17 million cars a year are still sold in the US, so clearly ridesharing isn’t preferred that much more over vehicle ownership (perhaps if you’re in a city and without kids). Having two kids, I couldn’t imagine dragging two car seats with us Lyft to Lyft. Rather just own the car.
- TomK32 8y agoNo ridesharing either if no one buys cars.
- microdrum 8y agoYou are being downvoted bc the analogy is bad. Owning a m365 scooter provides 95% of the lime experience. Owning a car provides, like 10% to 50% of the Lyft experience, depending on many personal/geo variables.
