The road to hell...

...is paved with (IMHO) an irrational support for billionaires getting richer at the expense of the exploitation of the commoner.

I think you have it backwards: I blame the billion dollar companies for being heartless. The government works to prevent exploitation of the poor.

Don't forget the stigma that public transit is for dirty poor people. Rideshare is a bit of a classist thing.

Man, if ever there was a proposition that need to be repealed. I lived in NorCal for 22 years. Prop 13 is why schools in non-rich neighborhoods are literally collapsing. There are schools in South Sacto that have been holding classes in "temporary" trailers for over 20 years. What a huge mistake 1978 made.

In Portland, Radio Cab has an Android/iOS app. I switched to them once they modernized. In this case, Lyft/Uber caused taxis to improve infrastructure. That's a win.
