Uber Shuttle in the U.S. will repurpose the technology and business model that Uber has built to help commuters in emerging markets where there's a public transportation gap.
"If you look at what we do in India and Egypt, we go, 'Where do we want to lay out our own routes based on a predicted demand we see across the city,'" Anthony Le Roux, general manager of Uber Shuttle, told TechCrunch.
"In the U.S., Le Roux said such shuttle services don't make as much sense because there's public transit infrastructure and Americans are attached to driving their own personal vehicles."
"The biggest challenge will be to find out exactly where to pick people up and at what times, said Le Roux. That's where Uber's massive stores of aggregate data will come in to give developers a better idea of how people are actually moving from airports, stadiums and amphitheaters, he said."
