> the user experience of Uber, Lyft et al is strictly better than public transport

Taking the bus from my home to work, I get to skip the bridge toll plaza, I get a nicer view (being up higher than an individual car), and I can get a seat with space enough to comfortably get work done.

Taking BART home is substantially faster than waiting in traffic out of the city, whoever is driving.

Uber, Lyft, et al are often a better user experience on balance than public transit. Calling them "strictly better" is an exaggeration.
