What problem does this solve? And is that problem worth all the negatives this brings?

[–] druidjaidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The problem it solves is that most small airports are located miles away from the communities they serve. That isn't an issue with a car, but it does suck when traveling.

Uber/Lyft have mostly solved this problem. However. There are plenty of small rural communities or small vacation destinations which are too rural to have taxis or uber/lyft.

Is it worth it? No. But it's a legit problem
