Ask HN: $100 “all-you-can-ride” service (car, scooters, bikes, public transport)

Would you pay $100 per month for an "all-you-can-ride" service?

This service would aggregate Uber, Lyft, Bird, Lime, public transportation, etc., and would cost you $100 a month.

Likely constraints would be:

-The service would be ad supported. -You would likely have geographic restrictions (only in SF, only in West LA, etc.) -You would have ride-type restrictions (you can't take Uber Black everywhere, etc.)

What do you think?

Anyone would. Its impossible.

I’ll happily pay $250 a month for this.

Somehow moviepass comes to mind...

Given that an unlimited ride metrocard costs $125 or so monthly, that sounds unrealistic to me.

Interesting idea but no, because I’d rather pay a la carte— some months I don’t need it much.

FWIW, Uber already crunched the numbers for doing ads in the platform and it turned out it wouldn't really be worth the effort.

I commute with Uber (average of $5-6 w/ express pool, 30-40min rides to/from Outer Richmond/Downtown) around 4 times a week and it costs about $200 (in SF). There's no way you could make up the difference with ads.

Besides, the "All you can ride" service supplemented with ads already exists: public transit monthly passes.
