    There are a lot of under-served areas, and one thing he brought up that was interesting was what options will evolve where there are unmet transit needs. In the outskirts of the city where I live, there's poor public transportation and many people take dollar vans instead. They're not really regulated and that can create problems. This was one way a transit provider managed to help people in these areas that seems like a potentially helpful model. But even acknowledging the problem is an important step in some cases.
