no bus company subsidizes passes, local governments do

Local governments... you mean the thing Uber hates and does everything they can to defy?

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

oh yeah they would hate for local governments to give them money

If that means proper regulations (as it should) I bet they would hate it.

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

they dont have to follow regulations if they dont take government subsidies?

[–] Jajcus@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

Those would be different kind of regulations. Not just 'you need functioning brakes' kind, but also 'you must serve this route that hardly anyone uses and and you cannot make any extra money from'. Or 'no extra fees, even where some people would pay them'.
