> It's interesting that Chariot can sell a bus ride for barely more than the (heavily subsidised) MUNI costs. It's because they serve only high-density areas with commuter-only routes that operate only in a very limited time frame (morning hours). I think that such a model can not be called 'urban transit', a better term for it would be 'commuter private transit'. And it has nothing to do with efficient massive urban transportation, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10207669 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10207669 Edit: grammar
