Oh yes and maybe that was even in my head because I had heard about it before. It does seem like an area we could do much better. I was imaging something even more hybrid though. More like an elevator, especially the fancy ones where you select your floor before getting on, where it groups multiple people if they're taking similar trips. A lot of it seems like the sort of pure software problem that we should be able to solve easier now. You scan in on your phone or with a touchscreen at the station and then an algorithm works out which vehicles to dispatch to get everyone where they need to go which could involve lots of ride vehicles stopping together at station in the downtown, but then splitting off in the outskirts to drop smaller loads of people off Obviously that gets a bit pie in the sky so maybe facing a reality of something simpler and more traditional public transit like is ok, but one can dream
