Flying SquidUber's new shuttle service sounds a lot like a bus route
blazeraGood? We need more bus routes
We don’t need to make them Uber chartered bus routes.
MxM111Why not? The more the merrier, and you, the customer, have a choice.
What if you, the customer, are a poor person? Is Uber going to subsidize a bus pass for you to charter one of Uber’s buses to their job?
no bus company subsidizes passes, local governments do
Local governments… you mean the thing Uber hates and does everything they can to defy?
oh yeah they would hate for local governments to give them money
JajcusIf that means proper regulations (as it should) I bet they would have it.
they dont have to follow regulations if they dont take government subsidies?
Those would be different kind of regulations. Not just 'you need functioning brakes' kind, but also 'you must serve this route that hardly anyone uses and and you cannot make any extra money from'. Or 'no extra fees, even where some people would pay them'.
