I'd move 4. above 2.. And you forgot 7.: World domination.

With the exception of 4 and 3 as of now, this is what Citymapper is trying to accomplish, isn't it? 🙈😄

I don't mean to just build an app. It's more about replacing the whole public transport stack.

I was referring to them starting their own entire bus line in London. Not all too much yet, but it's definitely a start^^

Okay, not bad. I would prefer to start smaller. :D

Well, why not establish an on demand bus line in a certain area of Berlin. Optimised by a good routing engine that takes demands and potential future demands into account :)
