If a person calls for an Uber and rides alone, there&#x27;s no less congestion because there is no reduction in commuter-vehicle trips. Just an increase in raw vehicle occupancy. In addition, unless the Uber is already in the commuter&#x27;s driveway <i>and</i> waits at the curb until the commuter is ready to leave <i>and</i> parks in the commuter&#x27;s driveway overnight, the use of an Uber increases traffic overall.
