Default Uber to focus on bikes and scooters over cars for short trips

Chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi says short car journeys in inner
cities during rush-hour traffic are "inefficient".

Typical "can't afford a car" cyclist.
Why do the trolls here think it's big of them to cart huge dangerous
metal boxes around, and then get angry at the prices they have to pay? It
must be so galling to be stuck in 'traffic' and see a bicycle whizzing
by.
