In NYC they cause woes because the public transit system has become a nightmare for those not in Manhattan, a la "The Outer Boroughs". Many Manhattan people barely register that there's an issue, and see more traffic than before. Oh gosh, the traffic is slow going uptown. If only the trains weren't breaking down, signals weren't needing repair, there wasn't a mid 60 percent on-time rating at present. If only the train service wasn't cut so viciously weekends. If only subways themselves weren't filled with miscreants, behaving rudely by playing music on their phones, bringing bikes, etc. If the subway platforms weren't 100 degrees F during the summer, when the next train is 10 minutes away. If only the buses were an alternative, instead of being beset by slow traffic thanks to bicycle lanes, double parking that's not ticketed, construction vehicles, and parking on both sides of the street. Then I'd be open to being concerned about the fact that I'm contributing to "traffic congestion" by taking Lyft and Uber (mostly Lyft) about 5x or more a week.
