Ride-sharing services, like Uber and Lyft, provide transportation options that can be subsidized to make them more affordable for low-income individuals. Proponents argue that it increases mobility for low-income individuals, reduces reliance on personal vehicles, and can reduce traffic congestion. Opponents argue that it is a misuse of public funds, may benefit ride-sharing companies more than individuals, and could discourage public transportation use.

No, the government should increase public transportation infrastructure to make ride-sharing redundant.
@B2NL5D43mos3MO
Yes for now given the transport system in Ireland is not great. However, the government should expand the transit network and encourage low-income individuals to take transit instead once the transit has been built.
@9ZWFB365mos5MO
Yes, specifically buses. Ubers and whatever is fine and all, but it's still smaller than it needs to be. buses take up much less space, and use much less fuel per person, so they should have MAJOR investment, as well as trains. And for low income households it should be free to a certain cap. I think everyone should have a sort of 'Transportation Card' that tracks the supposed cost of all their rides, and just withdraws from your account at regular intervals, and for lower-income individuals or children there should be a certain yearly cap that does not need to be paid at all
@9ZVTXGTSocial Democrats5mos5MO
i dont think there should be a subsidize ride sharing service for low income individuals, i think there should be more bus routes and public transport routes
@9ZV3LSY5mos5MO
Reduce student fares even further down and all public transport costs especially fares from counties eh Galway to Dublin : many Dublin drive back and forth
@9ZTSYQR5mos5MO
I agree that ride-sharing services should be available for low-income individuals and I agree that reducing traffic congestion is a problem that needs to be prioritized, but I am not in favour of the idea of reducing reliance on personal vehicles.
@B2WZ6ZP2mos2MO
No the focus should be on public transportation like buses, subways and trains rather than private companies
@9ZJ6GGF5mos5MO
no, increase funding for public transportation instead, and reform public transport in general
@9ZJ4RLCSocial Democrats5mos5MO
No, public transport systems should be revamped instead
Yes, but to regulate these services so that they can ensure safety
@9ZHRV975mos5MO
This would be extremely difficult to manage. A more effective strategy would be to provide better transport for people. A park and ride scheme to reduce traffic.
@9ZHKJTZ5mos5MO
Should be subsidised for everyone inclusive of those who earn more
@9ZHJG9Y5mos5MO
Yes but make ride sharing services partly accessible for the week to not abuse or eliminate public transport.
@9ZHHQWF5mos5MO
Should focus on improving public transport sector instead
This could be avoided by an investment in public transport
yes, but regulate these services to ensure that they are safe
They should just improve public transportation instead
@9ZH34NMSocial Democrats5mos5MO
If you mean a Bus then yes if you mean taxis small capacity vehicles no
@9ZH278T5mos5MO
Increase funding and availability of public transport, especially in rural areas
@9ZGL8DP5mos5MO
Public transport should be better funded and more readily available to people in rural communities.
Ride sharing where exactly, sort the public transport first
@9ZFHMWQSocial Democrats5mos5MO
No. There should be more infrastructural focus on public transport across the country.
@9ZFF6XK5mos5MO
Yes but ride sharing should be a norm in Ireland for people of all backgrounds.
@9ZF5GD55mos5MO
can we make the public transport in this country even 1% as good as most other european countries instead
@9ZDW5P95mos5MO
No the cost of ride-sharing services should be reduced for everyone
@9ZDPDMNPBB Solidarity5mos5MO
No, the government should incentive moving away from cars entirely
@9ZBFYR85mos5MO
no they should focus on making public transport both free and accessible for them
@9ZKGZPRIndependent5mos5MO
The government should be taxing massive corporations who do the most polluting instead of transferring the cost of climate change to ordinary working people
I believe this is a good idea but I don’t think it is worth the risk as it opens the door to many crimes such as theft, murder or kidnapping
@9ZJTRVRPeople Before Profit5mos5MO
No, invest in public transport infrastructure instead
@9ZJJPPJ5mos5MO
what is classed as low income how is it going to be monitored
@9ZJ6W6DSocial Democrats5mos5MO
No, the government should focus on expanding public transport options to facilitate travel
@9ZFV3CH5mos5MO
With a bike to work scheme or once off hire purchase
@9ZFQVBJPBB Solidarity5mos5MO
The government should focus on improving public transport infrastructure
@9ZFP8GR5mos5MO
Yes but incentives should first be put in place to persuade people to take public transport
@9ZFK5Z45mos5MO
No, public transport should be expanded geographically and financially to aid communities
@9NMXF5K10mos10MO
No, The state should provide free public transport
Well if they invested in public transport outside the major cities!!!
@9N4DKF4PBB Solidarity11mos11MO
The government should instead be rolling out wider access to public transport instead of pumping more money into the likes of uber etc.
@9ZSPGP85mos5MO
I think this seems like a good idea however could lead to problems such as theft, kidnapping, SA and others
@9ZQQHRHSocial Democrats5mos5MO
No but public transport infrastructure should be improved to make the country more accessible for low income individuals
No, but the Government should subsidise public-trandport services for low-income individuals instead.
In areas under-serviced by reliable, timely public transport only
@9PZJL2R10mos10MO
No, we should have a proper public transport system.
@9P4BRVM10mos10MO
Public transport should be better funded and maintained instead.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Should cities prioritize convenience for individuals, like ride-sharing, or broader access, like public transit?
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
@9T3JZLQ7mos7MO
The repairs should low individuals overcome subsidiaries
