It's great ! But it's also very saddening that people need incitation from companies to stop driving to work and can't make such healthy, environment-friendly decisions themselves.
I live in Munich now and the difference in urban design is unbelievably stark. Munich is built to handle a variety of transportation modes well. American cities are basically just designed for cars, with other modes being an afterthought.
This isn't popular here, but I have been indoctrinated by environmental bullshit as a kid and teen and I am done with that. I pay high gas taxes and if that can't more than offset the environmental impact whomever is in charge should be fired for incompetence.
Edit: comment predicated on the assumption that this is in California, where Lyft is located
No, you don't pay high taxes, and second, political forces are such that gas taxes can not be raised to what they should be to prevent your "firing for incompetence." The politics don't work that way.
If you have any doubts, throw all your greenbacks into a volcano and let us know if it stops erupting.
