About two years ago Kyle Hill sold his car. For anything over 3–5 miles away, he calls an Uber.
He lives car-less in Los Angeles, the city of cars. Is his decision really feasible?
Kyle did some calculations and came up with “A Financial Model Comparing Car Ownership with UberX (Los Angeles).”
About two years ago I sold my 2000 Lexus GS 300 and replaced it with a sleek single-speed Pure Fix commuter bike. Two years later, I still bike to work every morning. And for anything over 3–5 miles, or when I’m just not feeling up for the workout, I call an Uber. I love the safety and convenience of Uber, the overall quality of their cars, and especially as a young black male, the peace of mind that I’ll never again have to deal with the police.
