The tech crowd wants to improve the bus by making it easier to exclude people they don’t like or even want to see from riding it. That’s the only real “innovation” going on here.

So basically a party bus rental?

Cheaper to only employ entitled tech-bros as bus drivers.

It's always been this, yeah. What if public transportation but I never have to see a poor person
