I remember all the articles / suggestion that public transit contract with Uber to fill gaps in public transit, or even just to establish it in some areas. That seemed like a horrible idea to contract with a company whose entire existence has been bleeding money....

I got a lot of crap online when raising questions about such ideas from folks I think of as technology fans who really embrace all the disruption and all these convenient things these companies promise etc. Fortunately I see less of that these days.
