This is true given that ride sharing is actually displacing under-used personal vehicles (and/or taxis), and not higher-efficiency public transit, or other alternatives. (Suzie goes across town to a bar every Friday night now because she can take an Uber. She used to just walk up the street to the one near her house.)

I don't know whether it is or not (and I assume the answer is different in different places), but it bears mentioning.
