Uber & Lyft

I suppose so. Some say they are putting taxi cabs out of business but its also creating work and income for the people who drive uber/lyft. Its also super convenient for a consumer like me to just do a few taps on my phone and a car magically appears to take me wherever I want to go. No need to stand out in a street trying to flag down a taxi. If you're in a remote area... good luck.
Rideshare services are 100% beneficial to society. The whole argument of "they put taxis out of business!" makes zero sense when you realize the people who utilize Uber/Lyft never used taxis to begin with. I live in a big area, and you rarely see taxis. Taxi company and drivers are just jealous that Uber/Lyft are more prevalent and accessible. I don't drive, so Uber is amazing for me, and it's a great experience! I've met older, wonderful people who are retired, but doing it [Uber] for fun and have stories they want to share, and then I have folks my age who do Uber as a side hustle.
