> Busses and other public transport work well because you have a route which makes it predictable people know when and where they can get onto a bus, and where they can get off and how long the ride will take This is exactly the issue I'm referring to: the assumption that to be sufficiently usable, the route and frequency has to be pre-ordained, and that this is a necessary condition for acceptable mass transit. That's the antithesis of on-demand. > nothing stops public transport companies from implementing dynamic routes Plenty of factors restrain an incumbent from innovating. Internally, their established processes, values, technology. Externally, the regulatory environment, existing infrastructure, market structure. Sounds like a ripe candidate for disruption to me.
