  • From my very limited experience, it comes down to two things:

    • who owns the buses
    • who makes money off the buses

    My experience in taking public transit generally is that there is often very little advertising about them and as a result people don’t know about them unless you have to use them. Not only that but bus route maps are so damn hard to read. The best innovation I’ve seen is Google maps allowing you to use public transit as an option to get somewhere.

    The second is who is profiting. We all know conservatives don’t like paying for services they don’t use, especially when it benefits the poor. Schemes like Uber are a way to get people to pay for their buses so that the municipality can pay less into their public transit system and ideally pay into theirs.
