does this actually count as mass transit?

i am not surprised its hardly mentioned, as it is only useful to a tiny percentage of the population of 1 region.

as a case study, it boils down to being a nice benefit of working at one of a select few large, highly successful companies.

can this service be replicated effectively anywhere else? by anyone else? even by the same company in a different region? my initial answer to all of the above questions is no.

Yes, for example, Amazon and Microsoft have replicated the service in Seattle. Austin employers like Cirrus Logic run shuttles.

I only bring it up because the original article is explicitly about how an employer can encourage employees to stop driving to work.
