It's basically a law of nature at this point that any attempt at revolutionizing public transit will end up reinventing the train.

This isn't true. What Uber is attempting is on-demand and completely flexible bus routes. It's not revolutionary, but it is a logical innovation.

I both agree and disagree. Microtransit is based on several small innovations on traditional fixed route bus service. Uber didn't invent microtransit.

My city is several years into on-demand bus routes. It's a clusterfck to say the least.

That's interesting. Which city?
