A Lyft driver drops off a passenger near Union Station
Ridehailing companies like Uber, Lyft and Via see themselves as an answer to congestion in big cities. Yet, more and more studies are coming out with the opposite conclusion: ridehailing seems to actually make traffic worse by steering riders away from public transit. How might ridehailing companies and governments work to improve traffic conditions in our cities? What happens when we start summoning driverless cars with our smartphones? Is congestion pricing a potential solution? We discuss ridehailing and the future of transportation in our cities.
