(10 Oct 2018, 5:14 pm)Andreos1 It seems a number of operators are introducing on demand/app based services.
They've appeared in a a few areas across the country.
I do think it appeals to a certain demographic though. Just as uber does.
Can't see it taking off just yet. The nexus backed Dial-a-ride type services didn't really do much and they were targeted at the older generation.
There's also the experience on the road. I feel many will like their own vehicle which they can drive themselves. I still think autonomous cars and mass transport with autonomous vehicles will fall and drivable vehicles will remain to be the preference for the foreseeable future.
Maybe the combustion engine is reaching the end of its life, maybe hydrogen power and electric power will dominate soon. France currently has a scheme to buy cheap electric cars (they imposed a tax on petrol, it averages 160p/litre of our british pennies), but that is far as I can see it in any of our lives anyway.
