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.
Edit : got Kinja’d and link was not showing up. Let’s try again, or see comments. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

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.
