A new study says services like Uber and Lyft are causing urban traffic woes
I don’t understand why this study is receiving so much attention. It’s not peer reviewed. It doesn’t contain actual data collection (the estimates are all extrapolated in a way the author considers reasonable, not measured data from traffic detectors or surveys). Schaller is not a researcher or engineer, but a consultant mainly working for taxi regulation.<p>That doesn’t mean it’s wrong. But I’m surprised the study gets so much press because some guy published something on his personal website.
