You left out "public transportation." There is very strong anecdotal evidence that here in DC a large number of people take Uber where they used to take Metro.

- manigandham 8y agoMany places, like in California, do not have good public transportation and Uber is the only decent option. That statement in the article is definitely a heavy assumption.
- komali2 8y agoThe counter argument is that you no longer feel pressure to kick the issue to your congressperson to push for public transit, because a "good enough" solution has been presented (a solution that isn't as good for the environment or city than a bus).
- manigandham 8y agoMaybe, but perhaps the politicians should automatically look out and plan for the public good instead of needing a line-by-line spec sheet for their job.
- komali2 8y agoNow this is a form of optimism I can get behind :)
