The author has a point: some companies affirm themselves as society problem solvers that will disrupt the (harmful) status quo. But most of the times they don't solve the core problems (in this particular case, public transportation), they only solve where there is a profit to be made. This is capitalism, for the good and for the bad.

The author probably is inflammed because of his (South) European point of view, he is Spanish as I can understand, where there is a soft Capitalism that sometimes (or most of the time) shock with the raw capitalism he found in US. Our politics are left wing oriented (I'm also south European): US Center-Left (Democrats) are equivalent to Center-Right in Portugal for example.
