Was in an old school taxi cab here in San Francisco last week and I asked the guy what he thought about Lyft and Uber. Usually when I pose that question the cabbie goes on a tirade about how his/her livelyhood is ruined. But this guy's response was different.
He said.
"There are now more Uber and Lyft drivers in this City than there are people that need a ride."
- DEADBEEFC0FFEE 8y agoDoesn't this sort of thing self regulate. If there is not enough passengers, people will stop offering lifts as a primary income. If roads are full and slow, people will use public transport. I realise short term there may be some negative effects on city culture and transit finances. Regulating ride shares is not very different from taxis.
