Demand Responsive Transport - Buses With No Timetables
Demand Responsive Transport - Buses With No Timetables
If we can do multi-use Uber-routing and live route updates and live bus fleet management, we can have buses that stop where each passenger wants to be picked up and dropped :D
You're viewing a single thread.
So, a criminal can sign up, get on an on-demand bus, rob people, and get off. I wonder what safety features they have in the UK because, in the US, criminals would love this service. Ride out to the suburbs, burgle a house, and steal a car to bring the loot back. Rinse and repeat.
You don't sound like somebody who's ever stepped inside a bus. What safety features are there in place to stop somebody walking/driving to burgle a house? You can get robbed anywhere, in a bus, in the street, anyway, what safety features do you have for that? This is such a shit take and I'm surprised it would be any honest person's first reaction. I hope you're a bot.
PS: you may want to get off the internet, criminals may use it to rob you.
And nobody should be driving cars, because criminals will use them to run you over or worse: rob you.
I've ridden many buses and trains. I've seen plenty of YouTube videos where people are attacked on buses. I've seen plenty of light rail trains where the homeless ride around the entire day.
Ride out to the suburbs, burgle a house, and steal a car to bring the loot back actually happened in Baltimore, Maryland, USA when they extended the red line light rail to Hunt Valley. The Hunt Valley Mall died and was torn down a few years later.
Ok, you're a bot, confirmed.
absolutely smooth brain take right there
Wow, this is... something else.
The ability to get to the suburbs isn't a limiting factor in the US for theft, since a) most people have access to someone's car (whether their own or a friend's) because of how car-centric the design is, and b) Uber/Lyft are a thing, and I assure you those drivers care not one bit why you're going where you are going.
But, homes get robbed in rural areas with no public transportation every day already. And the culprits already have their own transportation. Totally wild and unfounded logic here.
I’m pretty sure this is satire, right? Haha, it’s got to be. Will upvote once confirmed

I wrote elsewhere in this thread extensively about what is the problem you try to solve before a proposal can be examined. Here you present such a problem, and it is so US-centric it is pathetic, I doubt very much you are from Canada for example, or even Australia, let alone the rest of the world.
Now, is the criminal a criminal before he gets into the bus/uber-taxi-van or does he become one by the time she/he exits? Anyone can be a possible criminal if you don't really know them, and still get surprised about the ones you do know.
It is amazing how deep social conditioning has gone in the US to create this culture against "sharing anything" and everyone having their own solution (after they pay for it) and having total disregard for those who can't afford an individualistic solution. You can buy education, shelter, food, health service, everything on your own in an open market for labor and commodities. Nobody needs solutions to common problems, only money to buy solutions.
You walk in Europe in any capital city and in touristy areas, and you can pin point those from the US from miles away. Criminals getting on buses, metro, public hospitals, are harder to spot.
