>I gave your hand-wavy explanation of how Uber reduces congestion more credit than it deserves. Most evidence suggest that Uber actually increases congestion, not the reverse Ok, well let me know if you want to actually address the point. >There is no trip by Uber which is less than twice as expensive than BART or 3 times as expensive as a bus here in Oregon. A short hop on BART is about $2.00 versus the $5.80 base rate on Uber. If your Uber gets stuck in traffic which is common in the Bay, the math gets even worse. (1) The BART may be different than my city (2) You're looking at the fare and not the actual cost. What's the actual cost of providing those short trips? (3) You're not looking at the cost to develop new service. What would the actual cost be of creating a new line in the heart of the city?
