Is this not just a bus but worse?
Well you don't have to ride with the poors and you pay direct instead of taxes for maximum inefficiency of money for value.
It's a shared taxi/marshrutka/dollar van/jitney ... Too many names but common across the world especially where the government is incapable of organizing proper public transport.
Just repackaged for techbros.
Exactly this. Interestingly, while in "those" places the government is incapable of organizing public transit, in US, the government chooses not to. It's like learned helplessness at the society level.
Pesero is another.
Busses are going to get privatized....that's this administrations goal, privatize everything.
I live in the San Diego area, and both our public transit agencies have the bus side privatized. Same shitty service and poor security for years. Meanwhile, the media labels public transit as something for freaks and losers, which provides a great reason not to improve it.
Theoretically they can use the data collected from the app to optimize pickup locations and routes and be flexible as demand changes, since people can be directed to new pickup locations easily. Whether or not that's true and how much it costs will be the deciding factor.
Great, so a more expensive less reliable bus. Perfect
