If I extrapolate how much more road wear is caused by a bus and multiply by a EV fee we pay in NZ ($8 NZD / 100km), it would be cheaper to just zoom every passenger in their own Uber.

It's probably fake, but recently someone circulated a figure how much a $5 or $6 bus fare actually costs in Auckland - it's about $40 IIRC.

On flip side I do love rapid bus innovation in Auckland, when it works it works pretty well.
