Ride-hailing company Lyft is piloting a new bus-like service in San Francisco and Chicago. The Lyft Shuttle service offers fixed pick-up and drop-off stops along a predetermined route, and will be available during weekday peak periods. The Shuttle is designed to provide commuters with more transport options, but has provoked an uneasy response from the public transit sector. “It’s more privatization of our public sector and our public transportation system”, warned Sue Vaughan, a member of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Citizens Advisory Council.
