Depending on where you are going, ridesharing provides much better point to point service. Also, if you are not familiar with a city or it's language, sometimes trying to understand the public transit on your first day can be a nightmare.

I love taking public transit, but also, after a really long flight I can understand not wanting to think really hard about getting to the hotel.

Apple Maps, Google Maps, and I’m sure anything else under the sun will tell you specifically which train to take, in which direction. Usually, also with platform information, and in some cases even pricing/ticketing information.

Yes, traveling is a skill. It gets easier (and more comfortable) the more you practice it.
