Uber's main 'innovation' has been exploiting workers more effectively by offloading capital costs onto them as well, all the while convincing them that this makes them 'empowered' individuals. This race-to-the-bottom in real wages hurts workers and their living standards. That this is often called innovation by gullible morons is probably itself Silicon Valley's greatest innovation to date. So if the bubble bursts, you're probably going to see a doubling down on this kind of rhetoric. Workers will be blamed, and down their wages will go, even while labor productivity has gone up. Real envelope-pushing stuff, can't wait to see when Wired starts praising slavery as the new normal or whatever.

Dedicated busways and buslanes help massively, as does plenty of large bus terminals (instead of a bunch of stops). A good train network kind of needs a good bus network anyway.
