If we can do multi-use Uber-routing and live route updates and live bus fleet management, we can have buses that stop where each passenger wants to be picked up and dropped :D

Wow, this is... something else.

The ability to get to the suburbs isn't a limiting factor in the US for theft, since a) most people have access to someone's car (whether their own or a friend's) because of how car-centric the design is, and b) Uber/Lyft are a thing, and I assure you those drivers care not one bit why you're going where you are going.

But, homes get robbed in rural areas with no public transportation every day already. And the culprits already have their own transportation. Totally wild and unfounded logic here.
