Interesting article. I wonder what effect in terms of the future threat to Bus companies like Go North East etc... If literally true, I see bus companies investing in this technology as their current business model will be decimated. Thoughts...?! Bus Manufacturers would also need to transform, or they will end up like the horse carriages manufacturers referred to in article.
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.
