  > Ubers are cars, just with an extremely high markup. This should be be on a billboard. You could even take it a step further, ubers are worse than just owning a car. If I drive my car somewhere, I stop driving it when I get there. Ubers on the other hand, have to deadhead between different pickups and drop offs in addition to the mileage racked up during the pickups and drop offs themselves. So folks using uber are contributing more vehicle miles on a per trip basis than folks who are using their own vehicles.
