No. That's false. Riders will want a car to be at their location ASAP, or they will try to call another company.
So the incentive will be to put/drive cars very close to where people are.
That whole "cars will be stored at the periphery" is propaganda.

- oblio 6d agoIf you live in the US, it's not worse. If you live anywhere else in the (developed) world, it is worse. My hope is that the bottom-of-the-barrel US approach isn't shoved down the throats of everyone else just when we're finally managing to rebuild cities for people, not for cars.
- kmacleod 5d agoThe mass of unneeded cars will be at the periphery. The equivalent of taxi stands will have needed cars within reasonable distance. Back in the PRT days we simply planned to store 1-2 vehicles in-station waiting for walk-ups, and if a drop-off comes in they just push out the waiting vehicles and they circle back. The efficiency remains crazy supportive of that model vs empty buses or trains.
