Questions from riders and drivers answered by our Ride Gurus and Rideshare Experts
I'm debating whether I should sell my car to save money and use a Uber or Lyft instead. Would that actually save me money? Sometimes the fares are so expensive and I just can't see how the costs would actually add up here.
Any advice you can give me is appreciated! Thanks! Especially if you have done this before!!
Actually, according to a recent article, Lyft revealed that 250,000 users got rid of their cars in 2017 to use rideshares instead.
I have not heard of anyone who has chosen to do this, although I'm sure it is more common in urban areas.

Hey - I live in the city and have no need for a car. I think a lot of people have been getting rid of cars in the cities lately and choosing to walk or ride a bike instead - or even use public transportation! Using rideshares once in a while should not drain you too much, and if you're looking for a more affordable option you could use a carpool like UberPool or Lyft Line!
Rideshares = more traffic. I read in a study that car ownership actually hasn't decreased since rideshares became popular, but who knows. So much is happening now in the rideshare world and with the sharing economy and it's hard to keep up!
driverless cars are the future!!!!! soon everyone will sell their cars and be driven around in autonomous vehicles...
