Can we stop blaming companies for bad public infrastructure investment?

Like seriously, lots of countries manage to invest in public infrastructure even while uber exists. Did Switzerland stop building trains? Did Paris stop improving the Metro?

Cities like Amsterdam keep improving their bike infrastructure despite uber existing.

Yes! The funniest part of this is that Uber just started showing public transit routes and selling tickets in Berlin, competing with official BVG app (no, thanks, I will continue using BVG).
