It seems the next step in transport disruption. If Uber and Lyft can revolutionize taxicabs, why not take a shot at sclerotic and inefficient public transport.

  Public transport in London is neither sclerotic nor inefficient.

    Indeed; it was one of the things I liked best about living there. The buses were spectacularly frequent, clean, cheap, and had convenient connections with tube and rail. A triumph, all things considered.

      I love using the bus when I'm in London for work, none of the hustle and bustle of the tubes with approximately the same run time between places during the times I travel (rush hours) They're a breath of fresh air... literally, because they're also all electric apparently.

        Well, some of them are electric. Most are hybrid diesels. :)
        • corobo 10y ago
          Ah fair enough, I've only seen/acknowledged the electric ones then, probably the route I take (Euston to Holborn and back)

  Public transport in most parts of the world may be sclerotic, but is far more efficient at getting people where they need to go then privately owned automobiles or chauffeurs.

  What does sclerotic mean? "an inability or reluctance to adapt or compromise"?
