Now we see those cities starting to price in the negative externalities of these businesses. The congestion pricing in NYC is directly tied to the rise in ride sharing. This could change the economics even (especially?) in the profitable cities.

It's ridehailing, ride-sharing is completely different. Ride-sharing REDUCES congestion.

Ridehailing increases congestion if the city's public transport system is terrible.

This is not a fault of ridehailing, it's a symptom of bad infra.
