Call me when the SF metro holds a candle to Berlin. Or really, any functioning city.
Gauntlet thrown. Transit in SF is a trainwreck. And you're not gonna fix it with your big big paycheck.
- WalterSear 8y agoI don't need to, because it isn't the >complete< trainweck everyone claims it to be.
- sneak 8y agoAs someone who regularly rides Uber Black around SF and the S-Bahn around Berlin - you’re wrong.
- heavenlyhash 8y agoSo what you're saying is... trains in SF... are a wreckage, and unusable. And you use a hyper-capitialized burning-someone-else's-money "disruptive" "startup" and would like to pretend it's comparable to having a functioning social service. Well, okay. I also regularly uber around in SF. Because there's no alternative. And yet: even ignoring dollar cost, I'd say it's comically, pathetically slow to get around the city compared to what a functioning mass transit system should be able to do. SF is tiny, geographically speaking; the time it takes to cover ground in SF using a car is a travesty, and more ubering will not make this better, unless we get a new ultra-high-cost variant which has rockets to blast the other traffic off the road like some terrible action movie come to life.
