And why does #Farrell want to increase congestion in San Francisco?
"Ride-share is an activity that I believe we need to promote out of City Hall." (Also from https://missionlocal.org/2024/09/see-how-they-run-what-mark-farrell-would-do-in-his-first-100-days-as-mayor/)
Study after study - worldwide - has shown that ride hail companies are :
1) Diverting people from more sustainable modes of transportation (Transit, cycling, walking)
2) Increasing congestion and vehicle miles travelled (and that harms air quality, even if EVs are used)
So why is a Venture Capitalist (not a small businessman) supporting something that's bad for transit and bad for public health and bad for congestion?
