Uber Just Reinvented the Bus … Again

Summary

73% Informative

Uber announced Route Share in seven cities at the end of May .

The ride-hailing company says it's "to some extent inspired by the bus" But experts say it's a move toward a public-transit model without public accountability.

The Union of Concerned Scientists says rideshare services emit 69 percent more planet-warming carbon dioxide than the trips they displace.

Uber Route Share is cheaper than Uber’s standard car service.

But it's far from the most efficient or economical way to get around in the Big Apple.

The addresses are served by three different subway lines, but it's possible to commute between those two points for $ 2.90 .
