Seems a bit of a publicity stunt as there must be a better way to do this than to drop logistics on to human subways? That being said inner city delivery bots are great idea. I'd see them all the time in Estonia a few years ago and food delivery should be entirely automated.

No it's "disruption", just offload all your delivery costs onto public mass transit infrastructure and fill up the subway cars with deliveries instead of people. Profit.

Tbf all delivery methods use public infrastructure.

Okay I guess I could phrase that better but this is the first time they've used public mass transit infrastructure that I've heard of. I will edit my comment to include the phrase "mass transit".
