Good? We need more bus routes

We don't need to make them Uber chartered bus routes.

We need more public transportation, not privatized bus routes

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Frankly it doesn't matter. Japan has several private companies operating rail services. Tokyo has several subway systems.

We need more appropriately priced, accessible mass transit. I don't care if it's public or private.

Yea I see this as a net positive. They mention concert venues. This is the perfect use case, I remember so many times struggling to get a bus after a big show because they're packed. This could relieve that. It could increase frequency of pickups on existing routes, it'll cut down on single passenger Ubers.
