Works anywhere there are a lot of people on similar route, not necessarily commute.

Drop someone off at airport, pick someone up who's going near your house or anywhere along your route.

Same for big game, weekend rush to the beach communities, other events.

It's a good natural counterbalance for 'surge pricing', since whenever there is big demand there are probably people on overlapping routes.
