https://twitter.com/ByRosenberg/status/968198217945956352 The report also found many riders aren't using hailed rides to connect to a subway or bus line, but instead as a separate mode of transit, said Alison Felix, one of the report's authors. "Ride sharing is pulling from and not complementing public transportation," she said. That's not quite what Uber founder Travis Kalanick suggested in 2015 when he said, "We envision a world where there's no more traffic in Boston in five years." A study released in December found that large increases in the number of taxis and ride-sharing vehicles are contributing to slow traffic in Manhattan's central business district. It recommended policies to prevent further increases in "the number of vacant vehicles occupied only by drivers waiting for their next trip request." In San Francisco, a study released in June found that on a typical weekday, ride-hailing drivers make more than 170,000 vehicle trips, about 12 times the number of taxi trips, and that the trips are concentrated in the densest and most congested parts of the city. And a survey released in October of more than 4,000 adults in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Washington, D.C., also concluded that 49 to 61 percent of ride-hailing trips would have not been made at all — or instead by walking, biking or public transit — if the option didn't exist. hahahaha of course

like the only way that vision could come true is with some type of load-prediction and planning approach that, afaik, has never been attempted by any of these companies and the trivial solution to which is buses and trains with regular routes

the base problem is that people travel in waves creating huge peaks in usage compared to "average" and more vehicles will never, ever solve this, right now thanks to tncs a huge flood of cars come into the city for commute times and weekend nights, meaning there's not only more traffic in the city but more traffic going into and out of it around those times I'd guess the average uber/lyft driver lives at least 25 miles outside of sf

I used to ride my bike to work, and its incredibly sustainable to do in a region with basically perfect weather on 90+% of days but I moved a bit closer to work and anticlimactically can no longer do that because of intersecting commuter infrastructure
