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.

i'm guessing it would serve routes not already served by busses. in which case it could be useful if you can share them.

it used to annoy me that i couldnt get a bus to the next town over from my hometown when i lived there. i had to get a bus 40 mins in the wrong direction and get a second bus from there into work.

Is this not just a bus but worse?

Don't forget to tip!
