This is facts. Getting rid of cars without any functinal alternative is literally just fucking over poor people. I don't give two fucks how much ride-sharing apps could be better than people owning cars, ubering to and from work and only on that loop is $300-500+ a week depending on where you live. I'd actually imagine Australian prices are probably worse.
