    My city has a door-2-door system of minibuses that are a bit like the missing link between taxis and buses. They pick you up from wherever you are and take you to wherever you’re going, they just pick up other people on the way too. It’s generally marketed towards the disabled/elderly, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be scaled up and be marketed as either a bus+ or a taxi lite.

      This is actually the first I’ve heard of this, and it’s actually the perfect solution. If 1/3 of the fleet is dedicated to first come, first serve transportation, it helps a ton with what’s otherwise the use case for cars.
