The article mentions hailed mobility, like Uber and Lyft, are the alternative uses. It's still cars, but not their car.

Considering how much cars cost I wonder if ride shares are even more expensive.

Depends on how often you drive.

there's a lot of variables, but figure owning a car costs 300-400 a month minimum...

If you don't need it everyday for work I can easily see ride apps/taxis being much cheaper.

300-400 for an average priced car plus 200-400 of car insurance
