Seattle's 'microtransit' experiment drives people to light rail
What I want is a minibus towing a little flatbed trailer.  All it does is take people and their bikes from the bottom of the hill to the top.<p>For example, there's a place in San Francisco, West Portal to the top f the hill where Portola meets O'Shaughnessy, where you have about a mile to climb about 220 ft.  Google maps bike route, shows elevation profile: <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/zmcb8RkBtNGzUqFi7" rel="nofollow">https://goo.gl/maps/zmcb8RkBtNGzUqFi7</a>  From there most of the rest of the city is downhill, including all of downtown and the Mission district.<p>If there was a bike-shuttle service for that uphill, and another from, say, Castro station to Diamond Heights, I think you would get a lot more people commuting by bicycle.
