From an equity perspective I just don't think that's ok. I do appreciate Amy's points about them not being subsidized - but I can just imagine the outcry of taxi service stopped going to particular parts of the city because it's not cost effective. In part this is a density argument, but it's also a socioeconomic argument I think - and that's the part that I'm really struggling with. (Note: I'm a user of car2go and am pissed that it'll basically be useless moving forward, since my neighborhood is cut out).Roxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925924154510945049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17629790.post-70915620553653333612015-12-16T11:20:59.029-06:002015-12-16T11:20:59.029-06:00I don't know the history, but wonder what the ...I don't know the history, but wonder what the reaction would have been had they proposed the limited service area first (or did they?). It just doesn't seem very different from a service like Hour Car, that doesn't serve anywhere near all of the city already.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848821084269314215noreply@blogger.com
