Ride services should raise the bar on public transit and allow for it to be more focused, more ubiquitous, and lower cost.

Ride services reduce Car dependency, and take over some of the responsibility of Public transit

This should allow Public transit to be more focused on its core use case, not necessarily needing to compete with ride services

This should also allow Public transit to properly prioritize access and cost, as it needs to shoot for a use case that is lower cost and more usable than ride services.
