What if your local roads had two lanes, a fast lane and a slow lane. Anybody who pays to drive in the fast lane gets to go faster, anybody who doesn't pay is forced into the slow lane.
All the busses and other gov't vehicles get to drive in the fast lane. Uber makes a deal with the gov't which lets them drive in the fast lane.
The slow lane is set to an arbitrary 30km/h. You want to get to work, but it's 80km away. You could be there in an hour in the fast lane, but it's more than 2 in the slow lane. What do you do?
The gov't will tell you that the fast lane is great for prioritising traffic. Which may be true, but they've decided on the priority based on who has paid the most. Does that actually help you? They say, with the new system, we have all sorts of data on who travels on which roads and we can sell that data to pay for the system.
Ok, how do you benefit from that payment of a system which is actively preventing you from getting to work?
I don't know. Maybe I'm too close to the issue to see what the "other side" may be, other than $$$.
