| A lot of people replying to your skepticism with skepticism. Here's some numbers. If you live in the city: - Cost of Ubering to/from work could be about $3.50 per trip, or about $1,750 per year. - TCO of car ownership (based on this tool[1]) is $878 per month, and with $125/month for parking (a lowball), you get $12,036 per year. If you live in the suburbs: - Uber estimate one way from Phoenixville to downtown Philadelphia is $43.41 with Uber Pool. That's $21,705 per year. So if you live in the city, owning a car would cost you 6.87x more money. But if you live in the suburbs, Uber would cost you nearly double that.
