I think you may be looking past the point they are making. Rideshare was better, it was cheaper, it was nice. Its no longer better, cheaper, or nicer. They're doing fine for sure.... like the AI companies will be doing fine... but once the prices go up the ROI for AI agents won't be as appealing to every company. It may raise the bar higher for new companies/products rather than lower it.

Anecdata is fine to extrapolate from. I have ridden more than a few cars which rattle like they won’t see tomorrow.

The only thing which has gone downhill more is Airbnb.

At best a middling experience these days, and on average a poor experience.

What city? Most cities I’ve seen the majority of entrants have either gone bust or on a path to.

I thought Uber ridership has been increasing worldwide, if you have data that contradicts this please share it.

Because most of the other entrants are going bust. Saw Revel is the latest to bite the dust and exit ridesharing.

Cool but that just means Uber is hard to beat. I think Uber is doing just fine.

That doesn’t matter. Were really just talking about uber and lyft.
