@saxnot we need appropriate last mile transport. And I don't see cars or other similar individual vehicles (whatever energy source they are powered with) becoming redundant soon.
@neglesaks
If that scales... But I have some doubts.
@neglesaks
yes. Create the supply, make it cheap and available and see if people retire their cars.
But for certain areas and movement profiles I would say that Taxis or ride sharing will never be competitive, unless you introduce a 1000% tax increase.
@saxnot
@neglesaks
The fact that they'll be more desirable won't necessarily increase their use.
Currently a lot of people have cars, and definitely most rich people have cars; increasing the price would increase the amount of wealth required to have one and thus decrease the amount of people owning one.

@neglesaks
But this is not a solution to the problem, the solution is providing a valid and better alternative.
