[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uber is a shitty concept. Especially for teens. I get that the convenience is a new innovation for the suburbs, but a regulated public agency is the better way to go. Cities have been doing this forever.

[b]If you choose to live in the suburbs, then you are deciding that you are willing to drive your kids around. If you don’t want that, move to the city. [/b][/quote]

The US really is a dystopian hell-scape.[/quote]

Not sure what makes you say this as a response to this post. The poster is right. [b]How do you think people do it in other countries, did it before Uber...?[/b] [/quote]

You can’t be serious.  Other countries that aren’t completely and utterly beholden to the auto industry use a combination of reliable public transportation (busses, trains, subways, trams), safe walking paths, and safe biking paths.  Even outside of major cities![/quote]

I'm not from the US actually which is why I posted this. Yes, large cities are well-equipped. It's not the case if you live anywhere else. As someone from a rural area outside of a small town, I went nowhere as a teen unless my parents could take me. The small town only had buses (as most small towns do) and those required such long waits walking was better. But then again I had to be driven to that small town, or walk 1.5 hour to get there.[/quote]
