Any 'transport' system needs go cover its costs and pay for itself to be sustainable. DRT isn't. In the various trials that have happened so far, the subsidy per passenger is huge. To make it viable, you surely need bigger and fuller vehicles. But the more people that use it, the longer the wait and the worse the passenger experience.
However, it's 'different' to the status quo so good to see operators give it a go, even if nobody has so far been able to crack it.
How is DRT any different from what the likes of Uber do in the US with their 'ride sharing' option?
