I'm curious how ride-sharing compares to public transit and personal automobile use ecologically. Is it increasing traffic, pollution, and fossil-fule-use?

I don't have the stats in front of me right now, but ride-hailing is generally
increasing congestion, pollution, and fuel-use, but
decreasing demand for off-street parking.
This is a fairly predictable result. For every one passenger-carrying trip, a ride-hailing car actually takes two trips: The passenger-carrying trip plus the trip to get to the passenger pick-up point.
