With all the hate Uber gets around here I thought this would be a fun article to share!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Innisfil is about 100 km north of Toronto has 36,000 people and no public transit. Rather than shelling out for a bus line that few people would use they partnered with Uber to create an ‘on-demand’ public transit system that the city partially subsidizes. Cool.

Sounds kind of like what they do in Mexico (and probably elsewhere in Latin America) with the Colectivo buses, which are sort of like on-demand Uber Pools in Ford E-Series vans and similar. Hop on, pay a couple bucks, go 20 or 30 miles and hop on or off along the way.

It’s such a remote location, there are no links. You have to summon a friendly native to send a smoke signal, and when your uber arrives they bring the news to the next town the old fashioned way.
