>t just doesn't work geometrically

Yes it does! I UberPool to work quite a bit, and have not poofed out of existence by participating in a geometric contradiction. You are claiming that we should ban something that currently works; "it doesn't work" is nonsensical as a supporting argument.

>people happily stand in public transit for the dozens of minutes they have to spend there, and have satisfied with their experience.

In many places, people happily go without basic medical care, electricity, or indoor plumbing. All of these things are terribly expensive and somewhat environmentally damaging, people who lack them are still happy, so... let's ban electricity?




I think the idea is that it only works if few enough people use it. It is (geometrically) impossible for most people to travel by car in cities.
