The point of the article is that Uber is working with the Kochs to lobby against public transport. That is a lie. Uber are not lobbying. They see public transit consumers as a big market that they can take a piece of. They are currently using only supplementary strategy (ride back and forth to train station). Eventually, they may compete directly. If they offer a better service than mass transit and it drains riders, great. Job well done. Until they actually do something underhanded to achieve that, there's no story here.
