I remember the on demand dial-a-bus service. The right idea with the wrong technology. Back in June 2016 I wrote about an on demand self-driving minibus called Olli that is a dial-a-bus service. It was launched in a Maryland suburb of Washington, DC. At the time of my writing plans included expanding the service to the rest of urban DC, Miami-Dade and Las Vegas. I'm going to do a follow up to see how the service is doing. See: http://www.21stcentech.com/gizmos-gadgets-meet-olli-driving-bus/.]]> In reply to steve papagiannis.

As a Torontonian you might a project that the Ontario government did in the early 1970’s called Dial-a-bus. Now, some 40 years later the idea has come back with better technology. I don’t know if anything was learned from this project, but it would be good to see how this new model might overcome the shortcomings of the previous one.
