The class of people that can pay $40 for an uber ride home right to their door is entirely different from the class of people who would wait 15 minutes out in the elements to pay $2 for a ride that would take them within a 10 minute walk of their home.

I don't really consider myself an uber or a bus person... I drive myself around most of the time and just choose not to drink too much when I am out.

But I have never shared an uber with anybody who I regularly take public transit with.

All I am getting at is I do not believe that Uber is stealing away too many people from the bus system at least where I reside.
