> The bulk of TNC trips — 60 percent — either replace transit, biking, and walking, or would not have been made without the availability of TNCs. The same could be said of trips in people's own cars. Go ahead, replace "TNCs" in that sentence with "private automobiles" and it's just as true. Sure, it's a problem if TNC drivers go 3mi empty for every 5.2mi with a passenger, but it's a much bigger problem that transportation infrastructure sucks in most cities and zoning is flat-out insane. Attack the 1.6x multiplier in miles for a small population (TNC users) or the 2.5x multiplier for a much larger one (all drivers)? Or just turn a blind eye to the bigger issue because writing about the smaller one gets more clicks?
