Not sure if this will be a short term experiment, but the Innovation office announced this morning in a DTSF meeting (According to councilor Stehly)Â that they are going to an on demand shuttle service using phone aps.
While I know they have been discussing this for places that are NOT served well by the bus routes, I don’t think going ALL shuttle service would be a good idea. You are going to still need fixed routes, and what about people with NO phones?
Also, what would be the cost of eliminating full-size buses and moving to shuttles?
It will be interesting to hear the details of the plan. I guess we will find out in an informational in July.
