There is a good chance suburban areas would not have ride sharing for a long time if that happened. All the alternatives popping up would be in cities and dense urban areas for a long time. Or if they get them, they might just be priced worse than the taxis.

Suburban areas already suck for ride shade. Try hailing a lyft in the proper suburbs, should take you over a half hour.

What is a proper suburb to you? Ride sharing is great for me in suburban areas of Delaware before as one example. Wait can be 15-20 min sometimes. Though it shouldn’t be like that all the time. You can still see where the driver is, etc, via app. The price is cheap (I’d be willing to pay more). The experience is far better than hailing taxis used to be.

Suburban life is also different from city life. A 15-20 min isn’t that bad in suburbs.

Life has become a lot more convenient currently for me in suburbs knowing ride sharing is around. I almost shivered thinking about the last time I used a taxi a decade ago in suburbs.

What about Uber? I ordered it in a podunk city in eastern Washington recently and the wait was like 7 minutes.
