Re: “WA union for Uber, Lyft drivers says too many rideshares are on the road” (Feb. 26, Native Information):
I agree with the article claiming that Seattle has a rideshare drawback, though my prognosis is the precise reverse: Rideshare is not inexpensive in Seattle.
When in comparison with Uber and Lyft in different main cities, together with Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, the price of rideshare in Seattle is extraordinarily excessive. Nowadays, I solely use rideshare to get to and from Seattle-Tacoma Worldwide Airport, particularly since parking prices have additionally exploded on the airport. I begrudgingly count on $100+ fares from north of the Ship Canal Bridge as an added value of journey.
Think about my shock when a similar-length journey in Los Angeles lately value half that. I’d argue that there aren’t too many drivers, however that the fares are too excessive, suppressing ridership. On the intense aspect, I’m attempting to experience my bike extra.
