it seems more efficient what Milano does, you get a green number and a compact bus comes collect/drop you around. the rides can be booked the day before or called on demand (this has some timing restrictions) so that the service is optimized for day-to-day usage patterns
I'm gonna bet a service with this model will be able to out-compete Uber even on small cities.
- glenneroo 10y agoSlightly related: In Vienna/Austria when you pay for a semester/yearly ticket for public transportation, you are eligible for free usage of a special taxi ("sammeltaxi") to come pick you up when the regular bus/tram isn't running e.g. after midnight. The phone number is listed on every bus/tram station, although very few people seem to use it. They claim the wait is up to 1 hour but I usually wait 15-30 minutes.
