Someone do this startup idea!

without comments

Problem In New York City, subways and buses are cheap, convenient, but not as plentiful as taxis.

Solution Taxi drivers should organize and have routes, making a distributed bus-like system. People save money, taxis save gas, time, and make more money per trip.

It’s a win-win solution!

(I pitched this to a taxi driver today and told him to go do it.)

Google TISP

I thought it was some kind of joke, but apparently, Google’s TISP project is a reality. Broadband through the sewers!

(Ok, it’s not by Google, but still…)
