Yeah that’s the easiest comparison. You use an app and put your pick up & drop off points and then a bus like a big transit van will get routed past you. So it’s less predictable when you get to your destination as it might do more drop offs or pick ups. My partner used it a bit and reckoned 2/5 trips would be only her onboard and direct to work.

Nice. What kinda pricing? I presume it's got to be more expensive than a normal bus?

Think it wasn’t far off a normal bus fare, but it’s free to the hospital where my partner worked at the time.

Oh wow, that's a win. I guess it makes sense with a smaller population rather than running routes that either don't have many people or are not close enough to destinations so people don't use them.

Ah interesting, replacing certain bus routes. If they were lower demand ones they may well be saving money on it.
