Is this not just a bus but worse?

And more expensive too!

Next step: reinvent the train, but call it uber on steel or uber on rails

You guys don't get it. It is like public transportation but with the following "features":

1. No poors.
2. Owner can exclude anyone they don't like
3. No job security/unionization for the staff

Here's one more for "trains is to transportation what crabs are to evolution '

No it's privatized, so somebody at the top is getting rich. See that's the important part for these assholes. They just don't want the government spending that money when they could be spending it on more airplanes to drop into the fucking ocean.

Capitalists don't innovate. They gut public services and then claim they invented the idea...

Adam Something has a done a whole bunch of videos ridiculing tech bro reinventions of bus and train, great stuff.

wait wait wait hear me out, what if we had something bigger than a car and it still had a single driver but multiple passengers???

Ah yes, private sector innovation

Lemme guess, next they'll try connecting multiple carriages to carry more people per vehicle then work with local governments to build dedicated right of way...etc etc...

We are 10 years from UberRail

WOAH! This is an AMAZING idea! WHY hasn't Anyone THOUGHT of this Before? It's INCREDIBLE!

-People who Vote AGAINST Public Transportation and will COMPLAIN about how Expensive this is!

Lol, that kind of is a thing already in rural areas of germany. They go by beautiful names like RufBus and AnrufSammelTaxi and are provided by several state owned public transportation companies in low passenger areas/times of day. Usually, it's an additional 2 € per drive on top of the transportation ticket you need to have/buy.

If there is something anyone under 30 should have learned in today's world, is that capitalism will ALWAYS enshittify even the best idea. Always.

Of course they re-invented the bus. It's like carcinisation but the end product is always trains or busses., but if this means less cars on the roads I think I'm for it. As long as cities don't get lazy and use this an excuse to cut their bus programs.

What’s that other meme? The one about how every few years tech bros reinvent public transportation.

I’m pretty sure it’s public transportation with fewer steps!

Now the public doesn’t have to worry about pesky “democracy” to make decisions about who’s commanding the transportation. The shareholders interests will do that for you!

Public transportation but expensive.
