@paulg let's not forget that a car has features Uber doesn't: mobile storage, instant availability for open-ended road trips, etc.

@dbasch having recently bought a car again, I agree completely. I tend to bike or Uber within the city and drive my own car when I go afar. - Show replies

@paulg I think it's more realistic to factor in a mix of transportation options: walking/bike, public transportation, car sharing, and Uber.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg Reality check. Also the value of access to spontaneous and inexpensive long distance travel (i.e. SF>LA) is not factored either.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg Some mistake how come 12,744 Cost of owning ( calculated on 15,000 miles) is independent of annual milage change in all 3 cases.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg 2. There should never be a cross over point. UberX is cheaper only till fixed cost of owning car > mileage covered * uberx fare.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg 3. as Variable cost related to gas + maintainance/mileage is always < uberx price/mileage.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
