Do people really dislike ride sharing more than public transport? Why? I dislike public transport when it's ineffective.

It takes me about 45 minutes to get to work by walking + train, and there's about one train every hour (less often in the morning), so it's inflexible.

If I go by bike, it's about 55 minutes (but then I need a shower, which can take a bit more if your company doesn't provide the right facilities). I'd say that the time saving for a train is ridiculous if we factor in the price for the railway system.

If I go by car it's 25 minutes, but then I need to find a parking spot, and usually pay for it.

If I could rideshare to work and just be dropped in front of my office, and forget about it, with a price on par (even slightly higher) than my car ride, I'd pick that solution most of the times (I'd still ride my bike for training that's it).

If you rideshare it's likely to take longer than 25 minutes to get to work unless all sharing people happen to work and live at the same point.

If there're 4-5 of us ridesharing, the system should pool people going to similar destinations. I expect the commute to be something like 35 minutes, with the added flexibility I could bear the increased time.
