No, the government should make public transport free for low -income individuals.Investing in companies like Uber benefits the company in itself.

 @B3FH9CFNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…1wk1W

with a limit on miles and income that can be helped I think it is important for this to be an option

 @B3CPZL7answered…2wks2W

Should the Italian prime minister lower incomes of divide sharing by Australia prime minister how came along with subsidiaries individual services

 @B38Z9PKfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Yes, but only if there is insufficient public transportation and the need for transportation is reasonable.

 @B37ZK3Kfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

Yes but it should he stringent on being able to get the passes (ie they need to show how they use it going to work etc)

 @B37BTCNNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Subsidized ride sharing within certain guidelines for persons with disabilities and lower income for necessary travel like grocery shopping or doctors appointments. Taxes shouldn't be paying for someone to have a paid Uber to go out shopping/eating/just because especially if transit is a viable option.

 @B356ZP6New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3wks3W

The government should not subsidize ride-sharing services, and instead work towards equitable and affordable public transportation fares.

 @B2S3BFQLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, the government should subsidize ride-sharing services for low-income individuals. But only for a certain amount of time. About 4-5 months to give said individual an opportunity to better their low-incomes. If an individual is unable to find a way to increase their income in the amount of time allotted then the government should extent their support them for a few more months until one finds a better income.

 @B2RXD2Yfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

I think they should but then at the same time its hard to get out of the place where people can just lie about their financial situation and they will take advantage and ruin it for those that truly need it

 @B2RGD7Yfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

If the person has a disability that forces them to a low income then yes, but if you're on a low income because of drug use, no.

 @B2R6534Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

I think its not government issue, and if government really wants to subsidize law income individuals. Than the government should reduce tax percentage that will help the low income individuals to afford their own car.

 @B2QNMXZfrom Quebec  answered…1mo1MO

Public transportation should be the most efficient and accessible mode of transportation, and the governement should subsidize public transportation for low-income individuals.

 @B2LZCJTfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

It’s hard to say, for one, public transportation exists, two, a fair amount of low income households include a disabled person that could struggle with buses

 @B2KB543from Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Governments should subsidize taxies. It will reinvigorate the taxi industry and prevent ride-share monopolies

 @B2K8W4Dfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

No but tax incentives could be provided to private companies for efforts toward innovation and efficiency

 @B2CT8W4from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

If the person is disabled or has some reason for being a low income individual other than drugs and improper decisions

 @B2C7PRRLiberalfrom Nova Scotia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but not just for low-income individuals. The government can't only help low-income people.

 @B2BM5T5from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Hard to say. Old people cost too much. The world is suffering from that, but I personally know a 63 year old lady that would benefit from this very, very much.

 @B2BM3GZfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Should be specified on a case by case basis. Dependent on age of the citizen.

 @B2W94QVfrom Ontario  answered…4wks4W

Depends on the low income and the jobs, if they aren’t trying to get better jobs etc. and just live off welfare and subsided ride sharing then I would say no

 @B2V65DHfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Buses and trains should give large discounts to Canadian Military Veterans, Seniors, and disabled Canadian Citizens

 @B2GZNVGfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2mos2MO

Yes but it would have to be regulated for necessary use. For example, job related, groceries, doctors appointments, etc.

 @B2DQSLR from Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

No, instead there should be a focus on shifting to environmentally friendly, free, accessible, public transportation

 @B285MVZfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes but only for those unable to physically use the existing public transportation networks.

 @B25TXWWfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

 @9ZRQ8ZPfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4mos4MO

 @9ZPNR4Ffrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

No, instead the government should add more funding for low-income individuals

 @9ZCJ32Yfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but only if high-quality and affordable public transit is not available in their area.

 @carsonmyers from Maine  answered…6mos6MO

No, provide government-run services, including public transit and other alternative means of travel

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

If ride-sharing became cheaper for everyone, do you think it would make owning a car less important?

 @9TMG6DRfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

I don't think Canada is ready yet, and I think we are bringing these ideas too fast.

 @9SNJQRWfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

No, improve public transportation nation wide. Especially in small towns that have little to none.

 @9RZYZVVfrom Quebec  answered…7mos7MO

 @9RZPX67from Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

government intervention doesnt need to/shouldnt happen with uber, therefore they dont need my tax contribution

 @9RPPNG7from Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

 @9RMDWZQfrom Nova Scotia  answered…8mos8MO

No. But we need a huge improvement in public transit and that can be subsidized

 @9RC3SBWfrom Quebec  answered…8mos8MO

 @9RBY87Rfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

No, use that funding toward improving pre-existing public transportation

 @9RBRBYRfrom New Brunswick  answered…8mos8MO

No, and the ride-sharing services drivers need protection from exploitation.

 @9QWR9RQfrom Washington  answered…8mos8MO

 @9Q6HHH7from Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

 @9P8NRFMNew Democratic from Alberta  answered…9mos9MO

Public transportation should be improved so that low-income individuals can access them without worrying of high cost ride-sharing services being their only options.

 @B27V3DQfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, if comparable public transport options aren’t available that could also be subsidized

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How would affordable ride-sharing impact traffic congestion and your experience commuting during busy times?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

If you had a choice between subsidized rides in an Uber or a stronger bus and train system, which would you choose and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Do you feel that increased reliance on ride-sharing services could weaken interest in improving public transportation systems?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

What might be some unintended consequences of making ride-sharing cheaper for low-income individuals?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Do you think supporting services like Uber and Lyft with public subsidies would help or harm the environment in the long run?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How would easier access to ride-sharing affect the daily life of someone without a vehicle?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Do you think public money should be used to support services like Uber and Lyft, or is it better spent on public transit improvements?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How would affordable ride-sharing change your ability to move freely in your own city?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Should cities prioritize convenience for individuals, like ride-sharing, or broader access, like public transit?
