> Mom's not going to benefit much from that 20 minute ride if she still has to get up an hour earlier and work for two more hours to pay for Uber
If she's saving over an hour on each end of her shift, she won't have to get up earlier. Also keep in mind she's probably paying a good chunk of her wage on daycare, so cutting 2 hrs off that would help a lot too.
Heck, just having an extra 2.3 hours a day to spend with your kid is way more valuable than anything else I could think of...

But she will be having to pay a lot more to get to work. Which means she'll have to work more. Which means she'll have to get there earlier, or leave later. Which means that all the time she saved by not taking the bus is now spent at work.
And sure, 2.3 hours with your kids is great. But making sure your kids can have dinner is better.
