>makes public transportation irreleventYou're welcome.It's scientifically demonstrable in transportation modeling if your population density is low enough, local government should just subsidize rideshare and it solves all transportation demand
I sometimes uber. I sometimes take the train. I sometimes take the bus. I sometimes walk. I sometimes ride a bike. What now?
>>2067599At what point does a rideshare make more sense than taking a bike to where you want to go? I think bikes are fine for the average (non cyclist™) person if it's within a 25 mile radius, which let's be honest, that's the vast majority of people.
>>2067603I'm a complete retard and I honestly don't understand how ridesharing apps are so popular, especially to the point that so many fucking people are drivers in this gig economy shit. I mean, America is the most car-dependent culture in the world and there are very few areas in the country where people can genuinely live without having a car. So where are all these people taking rideshares located? Where are they going?
>>2067599rideshare/taxis is fine for one-off trips like going to your yearly costco pilgrimage or w/e but it's not sustainable or even desirable for daily commuting
>>2067607This is why I don't understand how ridesharing has become so ubiquitous. You would think it would only be in really condensed cities where car-less living is possible, of which there are few in the USA. NYC obviously, probably some other NE cities like Boston, Philadelphia. Chicago. A few Bay Area cities SF and to a lesser extent Oakland. I dunno, maybe super liberal hippie cities like Seattle, Portland, Denver? But otherwise with how expensive it is, where are people going so often that would make it viable when everyone owns a car already? Airports? Bars/restaurants so they can drink? I don't fuckin get it
>>2067603>>2067605>>2067607>>2067608>I don't understand...>At what point?
>>2067616i posted >>2067607 and made nothing but hard statements. saying something is not desirable is not the same as saying you don't understand it. rideshare sucks for regular trips because the wait time for a car/driver is not consistent and it makes it objectively harder to budget your pre-trip time
>>2067617>Hard statements>With no statistics>That all conform to your preconceived notions
>>2067608Because you're in college. You think Uber exists so liberals can drink at bars? How do I even unpack that statement. Are you stupid? Yes you are.
