    Obviously some people don’t have much choice where there isn’t anything else, but if they have the choice, I never understand why anybody would pay that amount of money for a taxi. If possible, you can also avoid those capitalistic companies by using local transit.

    My local transit agency has trains and buses, but no Teslas. They are also charging exponentially less than a taxi that’s backed by equity firms. And much safer than cars. All cars.

      Local transit has downsides. Crime, inconvenient waits, loud music, loud phone talkers, etc.

        plus crazy people, homeless people stinking up the bus, unsanitary where they spit or vomit on the train from time to time. also of matter of principle some riders that cant afford rising fares, will just fare evade, this isnt a problem for people who can own teslas that ride public transport and can afford the fares. last year, in the west coast they went hard on fare inspections.
