Ridesharing, yes. Not uber taxi with exploitation

Free ride sharing (eg hitchhiking) is better than cheap ride sharing (eg blabla car) which is better then expensive ride sharing (eg a taxi) which - but all are better than there only beingprivately owned cars that are exclusively privately used.

Or, you know, public transport ;)

But yeah, it's true. I use carsharing if I feally need a car and public transport/biking most of the time.

If you can plan a bit ahead, ridesharing/transportation is one of the most popular services in US timebanks.
