I hate tech hype as much as anyone, but I'm also thoroughly sick of smug urbanists repeating to each other, "haha Silicon Valley reinvented the bus again!"
Silicon Valley is not reinventing the bus. They're trying to find ways to deliver bus transit that isn't mandated to be a shitty underpriced charity service. And every time they're defeated by two-bit leftists who don't have the brains or the nerve to take the fight to the road lobby where it belongs.
