Ride-sharing services, like Uber and Lyft, provide transportation options that can be subsidized to make them more affordable for low-income individuals. Proponents argue that it increases mobility for low-income individuals, reduces reliance on personal vehicles, and can reduce traffic congestion. Opponents argue that it is a misuse of public funds, may benefit ride-sharing companies more than individuals, and could discourage public transportation use.
@9NB6KJF1 day1D
There should be a national public transportation system
@9N5WBYD4 days4D
No, not until 'Gig Economy' is regulated to give its workers equal rights to employees.
@9N4KNQF4 days4D
Yes, but only for certain situations (occupational, medical, etc.) if public transportation is not sufficient
No, they should invest in public transportation like buses, trains, and subways
@9MYQ4756 days6D
Regardless, the government should invest in more walkable cities and public transportation.
No, and it should instead fund public transportation
@9MY56NM6 days6D
No, the the government should subsidize public transportation, not private companies
@9MTZNC41wk1W
Yes, but don’t subsidize the services themselves lest the funds be misused. Instead provide incentives to consumers to make use of ride-sharing services in areas where public transportation is inefficient
@9MSNM83Independent1wk1W
No, I think transportation accessibility it a critical contemporary right, but is better addressed through Jaunt programs, public transportation subsidies, and incentivizing employers to provide ride-share programs & other transport services.
Yes, in areas where public transit is not a feasible option.
@9MQ46RN1wk1W
Yes, provided the transportation is commuting to or from work or a medical or government facility
@99M6G59Independent 1wk1W
No, ride-sharing services should compete with one another on price and convenience
@9MMX76R2wks2W
No, since the companies subsidize them privately. Public transportation should be funded more instead, and be more accessible/safer.
@Dry550Independent 2wks2W
Yes, both sides make a strong case, however, people should be able to get around faster and comfortably rather than walk everywhere
