I applaud Jason Reynar for coming up with this idea, 'Innovation in Local Government'. I live in Markham, Ontario. I'd like this system to be used to help Senior Citizens in all the ways Jason Reynar suggests above. I, as a Senior, would love to be able to access Uber to drive me where I need to go, especially on freezing cold, icy days when I do not feel safe driving or at night, when like a lot of seniors, I suffer from night blindness. This system would also help house bound seniors socialize with other seniors in a most affordable way. I really do hope Markham, Ontario adopts Jason Reynar's innovative idea.
I feel like I just watched a spokesperson for Uber conduct a pitch to a city council. Don't get me wrong; he idea seems wonderful. But, I think my reflexive feelings of disgust and scepticism at the idea of big tech companies profiting off our small towns, is understandable.
Rideshare is an innovation and helpful. Cities might consider outsourcing more services to allow a private company take over some services. The private companies can be held responsible and liable for any problems, versus government that can get away more and there's no obvious person responsible- think flint Michigan where government employees pass the buck on responsibility for the water.
