Behind the Failure of Leap Transit’s Gentrified Buses in San Francisco
- jacalata 11y agoI wonder if Uber has poisoned the well for transit startups - there is so much more awareness among both the public and the local governments of the law, that it might never work for a brand new company to follow their "do it and just let them sue you" model, because the lawsuits will arrive before they have enough cash to fight it.
