My hierarchy of urban transport:
Walking
Biking
Train
Uber
Bus
In my city of Norfolk in a year I walk to a destination almost daily. I bike 2-3 times a week. I take the train about 4-7 times(I am downtown, so the destination for the train are limited). I Uber/Lyft 2-4 times a year. I take the bus 1-2 times(mainly when its at school and I don't feel like riding the bike home...because its now raining or something).
However, I think car-sharing could be a great thing in a city like Chicago. If I moved there I would like to know that my gf has her car, I can take the train/bus almost anywhere, bike, walk, or Uber if it makes more sense. Those options would have me, easily, to ditch my car. Heck, I almost ditched it here living in Norfolk because the gf walks to work(she uses about a tank of gas every 2 months) but I decided against it because I never know if I will end up in Dallas or some place like that.
As for the report, whats up with Bostons numbers?
