Well that will teach you not to trust Google, won’t it? The cost is $2.5 to $2.75 as I indicated: https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/muni/fares Please don’t start a conversation with a rude tone and then cite in

False. Everyone who decides to use a bus/train instead of a Lyft counts as a public transit user. In aggregate, our decisions determine how many riders use public transit. It serves no purpose to ignore anyone who rides less than 30-40

Usually 1-2 miles. We don't need to do it every day so it isn't worth having a bus pass. If we wanted to do it daily though, there are ridesharing passes too. Some people pay like $20-25 a month for a pack of Uber passes that give

Yeah I think ultimately NYC still has the most usable transit network. I am not sure the details of the award without searching but they had it plastered up inside the buses when I was there. It probably gets good user ratings because its b

For example, in San Francisco the bus costs $2.50 to $2.75 depending on how you pay. If two people want to go somewhere, thats at least $5. Instead I can get door to door service with Lyft for between $3.90 and $4.10 for the first person an

Here is a recent article about how people are switching from public transit to ridesharing and not from driving as many people expect: http://fortune.com/2017/10/13/uber-lyft-public-transit-rider... It doesn&

Well Denver won best transit in America recently to be fair. This article points at what I'm saying: http://fortune.com/2017/10/13/uber-lyft-public-transit-rider... Fewer people ride public transit when

First of all, I don't think your tone is very kind or conducive to a productive conversation. You state with no evidence whatsoever that rideshare services "can't or won't compete with mass transit" while the truth

In the medium term, they get public transit systems shut down or reduced in service by pricing fares artificially low for a period of time. This enables them to then exercise monopoly pricing power on the market (or oligopoly with Lyft or w

Yes they reinforced the keys on v2 not too long after initial release because they have low durability especially when dust gets in as it causes the connectors to break when the keys are depressed. Not sure how nice Apple is being with repl

Cameron lost his snap vote. May lost her snap vote. Sounds like Farage wants to lose a poorly thought out vote now too.

This happens to a large degree even without rent control. Miami is full of properties owned by snowbirds who only visit for a few months in the winter or by rich investors who figure a penthouse on South Beach isn’t likely to lose value any

Everyone who wasn’t gentrified out of their home agrees it’s great. An economist might foolishly brush off everyone being priced out of their neighborhoods as simply “externalities” but San Francisco’s politicians thankfully have a more nua

I don't think its a great comparison. Uber has repeatedly broken the law including stealing trade secrets, spying on competitors, and sabotaging them. They aren't toeing the law to figure out what regulations make sense for ridesh

A better deal is a debit card (somewhat fewer protections but saves people probably a 1% fee on average) but unfortunately the banks have set it up as a tragedy of the commons where it makes sense for me to get my 1-2% cashback since the 2.

Then people will move to Ethereum and EOS (or whatever competing blockchains get scalability first). With interoperability of blockchains, transactions can be done on alt blockchains that are cheap and fast instead of on the Bitcoin chain.

I’m not sure why so many people ignore that Bitcoin and all other serious cryptocurrencies are focused on their next generation scalability improvements. Several of the most viable blockchains like EOS are built to be scalable and the legac
