Are you implying that only 'lower-class' people are "hobos, gangstas, creeps, drunkards or other people creating a nuisance"? I ride public transit daily, and there is a non-trivial number of 'high-class' people that make riding the metro a pain (The subway is full, why are you pushing and shoving to get in if there is another subway coming in 60 seconds?)

There are probably people who wouldn't want to take public transit because of the list of people strictly because they deem themselves above or as better than the "hobos, gangstas, creeps, drunkards". With no evidence to back my claim, I would argue that the majority of people who would opt for Uber over public transit do so because of lower cost, convenience, and "other people creating a nuisance for fellow travellers"
