Do you think that these Ubers-but-with-buses would be cheap enough that the homeless could ride them? Most urban public transportation operates at a substantial loss; a private busing company would cost several times more than standard fare. It would be about as securely class-protected an experience as an Uber pool ride.

I have no idea what their operations or financials look like, but they have survived for at least a few years, so the business model must be at least somewhat viable.
