Is this a "we don't want to pay a fixed-route union driver" situation? It seems like the 132 is able to get about 10 riders an hour with two buses...this microtransit DEFINITELY won't do that with its one unreliable bad minibus!

It's clean, it's modern, it's punctual...but it doesn't run on Sundays. This has to be Europe's worst metro system, right? youtu.be/nWGhsp-0KfA
