On Reddit "Am I the Asshole?" posts there's an option for "ESH" - Everybody Sucks Here, which perfectly suits the ride options. Lyft/Uber seem very predatory with respect to their drivers, but how they were able to align the incentives of having a comfortable ride and better experience were great. The Taxi medallion system seems incredibly antiquated, unfair and unnecessary and the general experience of cabs is so much worse. Contactless is nice but you still have to contend with drivers asking for cash only and other weirdness / sketchiness. I view transportation as a public good and wish that there were more municipal APIs that exposed: "I'm here (lat/long) and want to go to (lat/long)?" and then let all the different services bid on those.
