  >"Chalk it up to Uber and their ilk, which not only discourages people from using public transport," The MTA actually does a pretty good job of discouraging people from taking the subway these days, probably more so than Uber. Maybe you haven't seen the news but the subway has been in throes of a crisis for more than a few years now [1]. While I would like to see less cars on the streets, its hard to make the argument that people shouldn't use car services when the alternative is regularly failing its'riders.
