I stand corrected! I had a long post written last night about how On Demand doesn’t appear to go to the airport, but it does;
The airport, for example, wasn’t an option. I was instead prompted to take a bus and then a 50-minute walk.
As it was explained to me by a reporter, the app just gives you options and the first option was to take a fixed route or walk.
Uh, okay.
But my bigger concern is the data mining;
Via has its own app that you have to download, and there are quite a few steps to get it all set up,
While data can make the service much better, your personal information like credit card and tracking info should be scrubbed every 24-48 hours. I want to use the service, but not sure I can trust a 3rd party contractor partnering up with another 3rd party software provider (and who knows what other financial services they are partnering with?)
All this Bloomberg Institute of data mining is getting old.
