OneEightHundred posted:Automated carpooling is probably a more practical solution for suburbs where things are very scattered. Automated carpooling will make a huge difference even in cities. City bus routes seem to have a stop every couple blocks. That lets people take the bus between any two points in the city. But it also means that busses are painfully slow. Busses are also bad at responding to a surge in demand between two points. If the SF Zoo had a big event one day, you could see a huge block of people wanting to go from the Caltrain station to the Zoo. But the bus line will still stop every block, and still take the standard detours. Carpooling apps could do great things for public transportation systems. Cities could keep scheduled busses or light rail along a few main routes. And everywhere else, they could schedule rides on-demand and group passengers who share similar destinations.
