But Uber/Lyft are not lobbying against public transit. In fact, in Denver, you can buy RTD tickets through the Uber app. There are plenty of reasons from a labor perspective to dislike rideshare companies but this ain't it.
It's the implication you and the headline are making. I have yet to see any evidence that Uber and Lyft are against public transport. They are competing with it, which is their right. That's massively different from attempting regulatory capture like the Kochs have done.
Right but nobody claimed that.
