For-profit, more expensive, less efficient busses.

I know Lyft tried it seven or eight years ago

In this case they're reinventing the jitney, not quite the bus, and it's ideally suited for routes where the ridership density isn't big enough to support buses.

Thing is, jitneys are illegal in most cities. I don't know how Uber is going to get around this.
