RIDEGURU
No environments are being saved. We are ridding of the most efficient way to travel, i.e. public transportation.
- Public transportation ridership has been declining so much in the US that some experts have called it an emergency.
- The exact cause has been a point of debate: most studies have pointed to service cuts and delays as the culprit.
- New research from the University of Kentucky suggests that more than anything, ride-hailing is behind the decline.

In Dubai their public transport system in AMAZING! So easy, fast, clean, not crowded, etc. If other cities spent that kind of money on their transport systems I bet UberPool and LyftLine would die overnight.
Didn't Uber recently put a public transport option in the their app though? I wonder if that helps some.
Pool, express pool and shared rides on Lyft is the culprit. Everyone is getting off the bus and into a car.
Seems obvious. Rideshares are too cheap. Public transport is forced to raise prices which only makes the problem worse.
