     I doubt #Uber pays drivers any more for subsidized trips than for regular trips. The concept of replacing public transit with ridesharing services bothers me. That's no longer public transit, that's private personal pickup for the privileged. Of course, I use "ridesharing service" with reserve; I fully understand it's really a surveillance system selling demographics to advertisers.
