Could shared mobility services reverse LA’s public transit decline?

Like in most major cities across the world, the likes of Uber and Lyft have become a part of everyday life for Angelenos. But as is typical of the ride-hailing services, their arrival has brought new problems for transport authorities. It is thought that Uber and Lyft have contributed notably to the fall in ridership that LA Metro, the public transport authority for Los Angeles and LA County, has experienced in recent years. Despite heavy investment, it’s thought that figures have dropped by up to 20% over the last five years.
