Positively, perhaps. If you don't need a car to commute, you're more likely not to own one and use ridesharing when you do need to go somewhere by car.
Most people don't use Uber/Lyft for their daily commute (yes, no doubt some on HN do). It can't make economic sense compared to driving yourself.
a ton of people I know who live in metro cities (sf, nyc, chicago, etc) used rideshare daily for commute, it's slightly more expensive than public transit and many employers either pay for or subsidize for it.
I think they will do just fine. Uber has Eats which many people who WFH use. Also, remote companies mean lots of travel as employees need to meet in person at least twice a year. Uber and Lyft benefit greatly from business travel.
I don't understand how people could possibly do that; apart from the cost, my experience with Uber and Lyft was awfully stressful. Something new and unsettling would happen in 5/6 rides - I didn't particularly feel like it was worse on average than a regular cab, but I didn't feel secure either. Drivers taking their hands off the steering wheel, fumbling and accidentally hitting the SOS button, tailgating...I only used them when I absolutely had no alternative.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told staff on Tuesday to expect a decision about layoffs in the next two weeks as the ride-hailing company struggles with depleted demand for its core business. “Hope is not a strategy,” he told employees. “We’re not going to avoid hard decisions.”
