Is is simply a small buss run by a private company? I don't understand why it is a "smart buss".

  It's got a microchip in it.

  "It’s got tracking software for real time integration with the app, passenger counting, and a driver app. We built software for everything, including realtime operational control to driver management to scheduling systems. We’re reinventing how to think about all of these in the realtime world. We’ve taken systems that haven’t traditionally talked to each other and integrated them."

    What does that mean? What is the result? To me it seems like a van on a short bus route. What does all the technology add on top of this?

      Bus on its way to you, your app says "There are 12 seats free, 10 standing on this bus" possibly even showing you which seats are free. Saves you catching a bus where you're crammed in like sardines. Possibly even more functional uses such as "The wheelchair space is available"

        But I'm going to get the bus anyway. If it re-routed me to alternative transport I suppose that would be helpful.
