I have been keeping an eye on The Detroit Bus Company for a while; they seem like a cool group. They will be suspending a free service to get kids to after-school programs at the end of the month if a fundraising campaign falls short.If there's one technological advance I really hope for, it's ubiquitous cheap transportation, so that lack of economic mobility can be a thing of the past.
There's an invention called a bus, and on this invention they provide cheap transportation.So to recap: If you provide transportation services just for your own employees, people will say that you’re elitist, that you’re ‘letting’ the public systems crumble because you’ve got your own, and there’ll be protests wherever your buses stop. If you provide transportation services to everyone and thumb your nose at the regulators, they’ll say you’re a threat to consumers and should be shut down. If you try to provide transportation services to everyone while following the rules, you will get fuck-all done. --Mike Blume on Night School Failed Because It Followed Laws
