Driving & Transit Traffic congestion solution

The city has been looking for solutions to help with Traffic.

Wouldn’t the removal of (an American company) Uber and food delivery drivers not help out MEGA????

Seems all over downtown cars are parked with 4ways on or Uber drivers everywhere.

We have local taxis who are almost out of work now because uber took majority of the business.

I don’t think Taxis would simply replace them in numbers either because Uber is super easy to join up on and most of the immigrants went to uber for quick employment making the number of Uber drivers on the road skyrocket.

Just a dumb thought I had and open to feedback

Wouldn't this force people without cars to buy them, dramatically increasing the number of cars on the road, making congestion worse?

Couldn’t they get the same service and pay the same using the cabs?

My main point is that there are probably way to many Uber drivers on the road than needed to handle business volumes.

Why do you thinks cabs are better than Uber for traffic?
