Do people consider shuttles and buses the same thing? Because this sounds like a shuttle, which as far as I'm aware is completely different from a bus. I take a shuttle to the airport, which requires a reservation and ~$50 whereas I take a bus to get around town and it's typically free.

Essentially it sounds like they are trying to dip into the shuttle market, not the inner-city bus market. Though maybe both?

Whatever you have to tell yourself to avoid sounding like you're using the same transportation method as the commoners.

..... the reading comprehension level of the average Lemmy user scares me

I literally said that I take the bus. And the shuttle.

Muricans don't understand public transport, give them some slack.
