Public transit. Shared transport along fixed routes.
It is an institution or public programme.
It exists to relieve Get from the dwelling to work and family, Get around without a parent driving and Get to work without a parent's car. That is the whole reason it is here: nothing enters this map without a human problem behind it.
It could not exist without Electricity generation and grid. These are the quiet preconditions — remove any one and the solution stops working.
It competes with Car ownership for the same friction.
2 organisations in this map sell it, 1 of them publicly listed.

The line back to a human being
2 hops from a person at a phase of life. The further a thing sits from the person, the more abstract it looks — and the more it tends to be mistaken for something that came from nowhere.
