Idk I see the Moia shuttles all over the place, but have rarely seen a passenger in them, though I know someone who knows someone who's used them. I guess they're driving around algorithmically to reach every point in short time, while at the same time not having to use parking lots (which are non-existant anyway) and parking areas reserved and financed by proper taxies/cabs.
- jraedisch 7y agoI used them to get to the airport and back once. Pricing was ok (probably around two thirds of a cab for a single person, but for more persons the ratio gets worse). On the way back it took twice as long though since the driver went back to the airport to get another passenger when we were already half way home. The software worked fine.
- hef19898 7y agoRoute planning is a very hard problem I came to realize having faced it at picking in warehouses and route planning for bus charter company, imagine MOIA for travelling groups. It gets easier with volume so due to density. Getting to that critical volume is business wise the first trick. And in cities you have competition by Taxis, Uber, Lyft and public transport running on a schedule. Especially your last example shows a critical point: people complain about busses, subways and so being 5 minutes late. And than you have the total unpredictability, as of now, for providers like MOIA.
- janfoeh 7y agoI've used them about a handful of times by now. Only once was I the sole occupant, and in that case it already had another pickup lined up after my stop. I don't really pay them much attention in traffic, but from my very limited experiences in them, utilisation does not seem too bad.
