transit mostly isn't supposed to generate revenue, either. so, good luck to the tech bros, i hope they burn all their money discovering another fairly well known principle.
Laissez-faire capitalism clerics out here destroying literally everything about civilization, but “reasonableness” pundits are still trying to scapegoat trans people.
You think Uber is going to operate along routes that are underserved by public transit? They're not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, they're gonna pick commuters transit routes that are already busy and try to siphon away customers.
As long as the driver isn’t a unionized professional with decent pay and benefits, able to feed their family and put a roof over their heads, I’m all for it.
I remember Lyft tried this briefly in San Francisco like a decade ago, that was when they were operating at a loss and every ride cost like $2 and it still failed
