self driving (they dont even need to be self driving just ride share algorithm powered) shuttles are the future of public transport

The systems could be ride share type shuttles that can pick you up at your location and drop you off at your destination.

You make the request in the app and the shuttle picks people up in a location.

They can even drop you off for a transfer with other modes, other shuttles etc. The shuttle that picks you up doesnt have to be the shuttle that drops you off.

Shuttles like these will greatly reduce traffic and can also handle spikes in demand unlike current mass transit.
