Summit, New Jersey, had a dilemma. Many of its residents commute by train to NYC, leaving their car in a parking lot at the train station. That lot was too small to handle all the cars so they were looking at building a new parking lot for about $10 million.
Then someone got a great, innovative idea - contract with Uber to get some of those commuters to and from the train station and forget about the new parking lot (because commuters won't need to leave their car there).
The city wins because they don't want to waste space on another parking lot and because this solution will cost far less ($167k the first year). Uber drivers win because they have reliable new demand for their product.
Innovative thinking has created another win-win situation.
