Uber and Lyft Cause More Pollution <br />Than Trips They Displace, Study Says The new report comes from <br />the Union of Concerned Scientists. On average, the analysis says they are <br />linked to 69 percent more climate pollution. In urban areas, biking and public transportation are <br />being replaced more and more by Lyft and Uber. This puts more cars on the roads, <br />which equals more carbon emissions. The group says that Uber and Lyft should encourage <br />users to utilize the car pool option more often. Another solution is for the ride-sharing <br />companies to invest more in electric cars. Lyft and Uber have made attempts, such <br />as offering bike and scooter services. Uber is also looking into giving cash incentives <br />to drivers with electric cars. In 2018, Lyft revealed future plans <br />to make its transportation carbon neutral.
