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.

Improve public transport, reduce the costs, or even provide free transport for low income individuals wherever possible.
@9ZL58VG1mo1MO
Yes, but depending on what type of rider share service it is e.g if it was for public transport then yeah
@9MPX63B7mos7MO
Yes, but only for appropriate journeys, e.g. for work, interviews, appointments, shopping, etc.
@9PRD6ZC6mos6MO
I find it hard to believe anyone would use this service...it would also be yet another level of bureacracy
@9PB4QF56mos6MO
No, public transport needs to be made cheaper and needs to serve many more people and communities than it currently does
@9P6B5NR6mos6MO
The government should apply pressure on the big companies and in turn companies can come up with ways of encouraging car sharing, use of Apps or notice boards etc. As most people travel within the same area.
@9P37PNL7mos7MO
No, unless it is ringfenced to be exclusively available for those who have an accessibility need that makes it difficult for them to take public transport.
@9NZ8C9P7mos7MO
No, funding should instead be focused on improving public transport. However, I would be supportive of funding for this if it is ringfenced to help disabled people or those with accesibility needs that may prevent them from taking public transport.
