If we can do multi-use Uber-routing and live route updates and live bus fleet management, we can have buses that stop where each passenger wants to be picked up and dropped :D

    So, a criminal can sign up, get on an on-demand bus, rob people, and get off. I wonder what safety features they have in the UK because, in the US, criminals would love this service. Ride out to the suburbs, burgle a house, and steal a car to bring the loot back. Rinse and repeat.

      You don’t sound like somebody who’s ever stepped inside a bus. What safety features are there in place to stop somebody walking/driving to burgle a house? You can get robbed anywhere, in a bus, in the street, anyway, what safety features do you have for that? This is such a shit take and I’m surprised it would be any honest person’s first reaction. I hope you’re a bot.

      PS: you may want to get off the internet, criminals may use it to rob you.

      And nobody should be driving cars, because criminals will use them to run you over or worse: rob you.

        I’ve ridden many buses and trains. I’ve seen plenty of YouTube videos where people are attacked on buses. I’ve seen plenty of light rail trains where the homeless ride around the entire day.

        Ride out to the suburbs, burgle a house, and steal a car to bring the loot back actually happened in Baltimore, Maryland, USA when they extended the red line light rail to Hunt Valley. The Hunt Valley Mall died and was torn down a few years later.
