I kind of wonder why there hasnt been an "uber for bus" yet.
I imagine a fleet of buses directed by sophisticated scheduling and navigation algorithms.
Users select a destination and pick up point, along with an arrival time. Discounts for ordering 1 day early to aid with scheduling. Pay extra to have the algorithm favor a shorter travel time for you.
System makes dynamic smart routes for buses to get people to where they want to go. Make it good at predicting arrival times so people can rely on it.
Seems like such an obvious next step for the whole uber/app-based-transport model. Not sure why nobody has tried it yet.
