“A MUNI bus ride is 1/10 the cost of an Uber or Lyft…” How I wish that were true. Certainly it can be depending on whether it is Prime Time and some other variables, but generally taking a shared Lyft or even a private one, MUNI is more like 1/2 to 1/4 the cost. Now the thing working against a shared Lyft is if a trip on the bus to my destination will take 30 minutes, a shared ride will be about 20 or 25, so for my use case I’m almost always calling a private car except when time isn’t a factor but overall comfort is. That is to say, it isn’t cheap, but it is competitive if you’re willing to pay a tiny bit extra for a much more comfortable ride. That said I still try to stick to public transit when possible, except when time is a factor and I can’t rely on the bus.
