Here’s the thing though, every employer in the Bay Area pays taxes, but only Uber and Lyft also disproportionately congest streets and add air and noise pollution. It’s not proportional whatsoever to the residents of these neighborhoods.

There are solutions which would better fit the problem: congestion pricing for peak hours or non-residents, pollution surcharge for non-EV ride share vehicles, surcharge for non-pool/line rides.

The status quo is to publicize the congestion and pollution and risk and privatize the profits.
