Could someone explain what is meant by microtransit?

[–] bryndos@fedia.io 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I first thought it'd be like those electric scooter hire, or maybe bike hire schemes.

But looking on line it looks like it might be just a city run version of uber.

Isn't that just taxis? Or is there something I'm missing?

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Certainly very taxi-like, but closer to an Uber pool, and owned/run by the city. Via just provides the software and apps and probably a routing algorithm.

Not sure about the jersey area but my area uses short buses for the paratransit, even though they don't have microtransit at all
