#2In SF a bus ride used to cost 2.25$, and I think it’s now 2.50$.
Lyft line most of the time is 4$ + 1$ for an extra passenger. Uber is probably similar and perhaps cheaper, I don’t know.
In short, there’s no benefit in using busses anymore.

#3Congestion pricing for use of city streets would quickly solve any problems due to increased use.

#4Eh, only 6% less using mass transit if you read the ITS report:
• Ride-hailing attracts Americans away from bus services (a 6% reduction) and light rail services
(a 3% reduction)
Given that cities have had populations on the rise, this is actually good because it helps the overloaded transit systems in many places. Of course, perhaps it prevent more investment in them as well. They also noted more people may take commuter rail when they can leverage a Lyft to get from the station to their final destination.

It's actually $2.75 now unless you are using Clipper.

#6Gee, it's almost like people only use public transportation when it's reliable, cost-effective, and efficient.

Did it in London?

#8I imagine traffic caused by Ride Hailing will get worse after you can get rid of the drivers. Since you'll have more corps getting into the space, and an AI won't get impatient driving up and down the same "popular street" to wait.

#9Link to the actual report: https://itspubs.ucdavis.edu/wp-content/themes/ucdavis/pubs/d...
What it actually says: "Directionally, based on mode substitution and ride-hailing frequency of use data, we conclude that ride-hailing is currently _likely to_ contribute to growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the major cities represented in this study." (Emphasis mine)
