I wonder how this contrasts with any added throughput.
If we move away from being bound by available parking, would we not increase congestion but also throughput?
- burnished 6y agoExact same experience. Used to work as a concierge in a downtown and while taxi calling wasn't a huge part of my job I definitely did enough of it to hate working with taxi companies. I think that must be where the smaller luxury towncar services used to make a lot of money, recommendations from people like me for people trying to catch a flight and willing to pay extra for some certainty.
- asdff 6y agoStudies have shown that uber doesn't necessarily take drivers off the road, but riders off bikes, trains, and busses, and pedestrians off of sidewalks. Considering a bus or a train as orders of magnitude higher throughput than a private car, throughput has probably gone down. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-28/uber-s-impact-on-transit-in-new-york-city-reexamined https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-28/uber-s-im...
