Not quite. More like the shared taxi stops that operate in poorer countries. I saw many of these in Cuba. Not like a bus in that it was:<p><pre><code>  1. Faster
  2. Carried fewer people
  3. Had route flexibility. You could pay extra to go off the route, negotiated with the driver and checking it didn&#x27;t inconvenience the other passengers.

This is radically different from how we run transport in North America.<p>With self driving cars, I could see Uber running shuttles around the city that decided optimal multi-user routes taking into consideration all the various route requests users had entered.<p>I always figured this was their end game as far as consumer transport was concerned.
