Since 2014 (when Uber started operations), total ridership on Metrobus, Metrorail and Metromover has dropped every single year, with Metrobus the hardest hit.

Losses have accelerated following the introduction of the cheaper Uberpool option, with an overall loss of 9.6% in 2017 alone. Losses in 2016 were 6.9%, with a 4.8% decline in 2015 and 0.6% in 2014 (when Uber only existed for a few months).
