[8 / 1 / ?]
I have some theories about a new mode of organizing public transport and I'd like to see if it'd be viable. Is there a publicly available database of traffic patterns in a given city (preferably European). Like how many people go from what place to where, and by which vehicle at what time.
Since I'm blocked from posting for a good 3 minutes, I might as well write it down. I want a self -driving microbus system, inspired by American schoolbuses. which goes around the neighborhood, but has a single destination.
How the system would work is a small bus (housing like 8 people) would go around the city and pick up people, and drop them off either at their destination. or transport them to a series of mini-hubs. These mini-hubs would be arranged around the chosen destination, so that people at each hub would want to go in the same general direction. Then a second bus would take them there.
