Public transit isn't a solution: it's slow, filthy, relatively expensive (for the value received) and public (I'd rather not sit next to someone who hasn't bathed this week). Uber, OTOH, is fast, clean, cheap-for-the-value & private.

Am I really stoked on Uber-the-company? Not really. But I love Uber-the-service. It's far better than taxis and buses.

You're wrong. Public Transit very much is a solution, and is so everywhere else in the world where they actually value it.
