> These aren't "public transit". They are private bus lines. The right comparison is how easy it is to get around the US using private transit like Uber. I agree they aren't public transit in the classic/ US sense, but comparing them to Uber/ Lyft isn't right either since the cost difference is an order of magnitude different. Uber and Lyft very wasteful compared to a busy bus line. Bus transportation in Quibi is $0.25-0.50 by comparison, an affordable amount even where incomes are much lower. If Uber was $1-2, then it would be more comparable. For lower income workers, the $5.80/ trip minimum Uber fair is simply not an option for daily transportation.
