Yup, but of course everyone got greedy. Last time I used Uber I spent 70 dollars to go 4 miles. I learned my bus map immediately after that

It was just an example, not a template, and it was more of an idealist projection of some better future based on where we were heading. You're right that public transit is a far older invention that handles the job better in this case.
