Thats still only a few people.. compared to a bus?

Why not just have a bus??

I take the bus to work every day. It's a set route for my set work schedule and it's great.

But everything else I do in my life? Not on a bus route, schedules are slow on the weekend or stop completely after a certain time.

When you come up with a bus that goes wherever I want to go when I want, I'm in. Until then, a car that doesn't require a driver and is easily shared between many people to take them the last mile is an actual solution.

Buses suck because they're like cars only worse.

Cars suck because of the amount of infrastructure you have to build for them all to avoid proper design of anything.

In a well designed area, you'd be able to get wherever you needed without having to take either of these things.

You mean like a self driving Uber?

Why is that necessary?
