Ride-sharing services, like Uber and Lyft, provide transportation options that can be subsidized to make them more affordable for low-income individuals. Proponents argue that it increases mobility for low-income individuals, reduces reliance on personal vehicles, and can reduce traffic congestion. Opponents argue that it is a misuse of public funds, may benefit ride-sharing companies more than individuals, and could discourage public transportation use.

Yes, but only as a stopgap while improving access to public transit options.
@9RD7VNS10mos10MO
No, the government shouldn't be subsidizing exploitative corporations using subcontractors as employees to avoid labor regulations at all, and should instead regulate them the same way as taxi services. Low-income individuals should be provided with subsidies to use public transportation and public transportation infrastructure should be expanded to make this feasible.
@9NP7RH612mos12MO
No, increase spending on public transportation instead.
@B5FFL426 days6D
NO, this would be to expensive. we should instead subsidize local governments to provide free public transportation.
@B5DT9MK1wk1W
No, but only because I believe that there should be increased funding for traditional public transportation systems across the board—essentially making this a moot point
@B5DN8N51wk1W
No, but only if public transportation is expanded and subsidized—in which case this point would be moot
@B5CKCJZ1wk1W
I’m fine with local government subsidies for such matters, and only to the extent that it would help to reduce wear and tear on roads that are federally funded for any federal involvement.
@B4PVGDL1mo1MO
No, but incentives should be given towards ride-sharing companies to pick up low income individuals at a lower cost.
