Sure, but being late for work because you took a bus instead of an Uber Pool is a real-world decision that real-world people make every day. The opportunity cost isn't "oh, I got an extra 30 minutes of paid time!" it's "I need to be on time or my pay gets docked or I get fired".

For many people, probably most people imo, the bus would be cheaper if a route existed. There’s also all sort of positive side effects to developing public transit infrastructure, like making the city cheaper to traverse, cutting down on requisite parking space, requiring less people to own cars, reducing traffic, etc.
