> However, TNCs are not a reliable way to reduce car ownership. When TNCs entered U.S. cities, car ownership actually increased in car-dependent and slow-growth cities, and TNCs displaced transit ridership most in cities with high income and fewer children.

This is not good. We need less dependency on cars. Not more. TNCs further dig us into the hole of car centric transportation in the US.
I fear we will never truly get walkable cities with alternative forms of transportation. The closest we will get is NYC but even that city is plagued by terrible, and inefficient zoning
