- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> but how is uber more convenient than train? Different things are good for different people. I can get in an Uber and take a nap or take phone calls and know that I'll arrive at my destination, eventually. No need to keep track of connections or transportation to and from a station or anything else. Having all options presented robustly grants everyone the best of both worlds.
- njarboe 5y agoAn uber drops you and your stuff off where you want to go?
- freeflight 5y agoKinda like those taxis waiting outside of central stations and airports?
- HPsquared 5y agoIt actually picks you up from your starting point, and drops you at your destination.
- radu_floricica 5y agoI don't think we'll see "long distance ubers" as a separate service - you'll just get into one and have it take you an hour away. Which, with proper road infrastructure, will naturally get to be about 100-200 km in less then 10 years or 200-300 later. You don't really need a toilet for that - or if you do, you just make a stop at a gas station, and have it wait or get another. Remember that Europe is not US - it's pretty much urban space next to urban space, not hundreds of miles of nothing. And for longer distances you fly (or yes, you get a high speed train)
