Why would anybody waste their time using Uber or Lyft to work?

That’s a lot of money to spend going to work and back! Why don’t you lazy, bogus asses learn to drive or take the bus?! Why waste like $3000 while you can have your own car?
A coworker takes Uber to work everyday and it costs her about $20-17 dollars a ride to work and back. Depending on the time and how much it is. She lives 20-25 minutes away from our job.

Plenty of people do not have or cannot afford to have their own transport. Some people do not want a car. Some people do not want a drivers license.

@butterflybaby75 so LAME at least I drive. What kind of person doesn’t want a drivers license or a car?! What kind of world do we live in?! So lazy and dependent! My parents always told us to stop depending on then and find our own way growing up. So I learned to drive at 15 and got my license at 16. Like NORMAL PEOPLE

@PetiteJulie01 Plenty of people don't need a license or want to get one, but they have to because they can't get around as an adult any other way. If you don't need a license you don't have to get one. I used to live in Sydney and public transport there is plentiful (trains, buses, ferries).

Why is is 'normal' to get a drivers license during high school?

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@butterflybaby75 because that’s how it was. My older brother got his license when he was 18. Also where my parents used to live, they had no choice but to learn to drive. My dad was 17 and my mom was 20.

There are many people who cannot get a couple of hundred together to buy even a piece of junk to drive and live too far to walk and where no bus serves their area... many! I totally agree it's crazy to use Uber or Lyft, but many have no choice. It's either that or get fired.

@Ontheroad that’s what I’m trying to tell people and her. Why use it everyday when you have bills to pay?! It’s crazy enough

if you have to drive a lot? ownership can be good
but new cars cost a LOT now. and even used ones in my part of the US
at 2-3 trips a week hired cars are not a bad idea. but not every day
many people have chosen not to learn to drive!
others live in those rare cities where there is good transit..
but to go into debt for 6 years?,, may not be the best planning

@SatyrService How much is a new car now?

DestroyerOfIdeologies · 22-25, M

Yeah probably in the long term having your own car is cheaper. I also got my license when I was 16 already. It's also way safer. They try not to bring it too much in the media but there's a lot of sexual assault it seems.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@DestroyerOfIdeologies THANK YOU!!! It’s safer to have your car than to ride with a stranger!

If the car payment + insurance +gas and basic maintenance + parking is less than an Uber or even the same, it’s worth it.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TwiddlerofThumbs Okay but using Uber is too expensive and people are lazy and wasting damn money

To be sedentary and gain thirty five pounds in under eight weeks. My kid finally got her way! She's free to be a total pig.
