Episode Synopsis "Episode 006 - Why Ride Hailing Apps are Making Manhattan Traffic Worse"

Did you know that Uber and Lyft drivers spend ⅓ of their time in midtown manhattan empty searching and waiting for fares? How does this affect congestion and what can be done to have our taxi system run more efficiently? I sit down with Bruce Schaller, a consultant, and a former executive at NYC DOT and Taxi and Limousine Commission on how best to manage our roads to alleviate traffic. We also discuss the hot topic of congestion pricing. For More information on Schaller's work, check out his website: www.schallerconsult.com
