Techcrunch is reporting today that Uber is now going to start offering "Fixed Route Shuttles" for commuters. The shuttles will drive between pre-set stops every 20 minutes and carry multiple passengers.

Hmmm, this business model sounds strangely familiar. Kinda sorta feels like this has been done before, like in EVERY BIG CITY IN THE COUNTRY.

Today, we took a local bus to explore the area without the hassle of driving. Upon arriving in Pensarn, we found the beach windswept but still took a refreshing walk along the shore. To warm up, we stopped for a steaming mug of tea. As rain began to fall, we decided to head back to Llandudno. Once there, we treated ourselves to ice cream, followed by a comforting latte, before making our way home.

Something similar planned for Merseyside. Will have to keep an eye on how this turns out.
