They say that during the California gold rush, the people who got richest were the shovel salesmen
Fuck cars and fuck Uber but this sounds like a reaction to Lyft being integrated in the (excellent) Transit app
Cars are useful and convenient. That is partially why they are so popular.
If you want less cars in your city car sharing services and micro mobility (scooters, ebikes) are your friend.
"useful and convenient"....
How about deadly, destructive, and isolating?
Or we could just ignore the corrupt alliance of industry colluding to eliminate other transportation options and wax poetic about the Free Market and Rugged Individualism, right?
If this meant that Uber was actually investing in the U.S. passenger rail system, then I’d cheer them on. It doesn’t, though, so Uber can continue to suck my ass.
Aren't trains known to be communism in the USA?
You mean commutism?
