Airlines have a bold new plan to make air travel better: replace airplanes with buses
reported
While this kind of move would be more challenging in the US, where train travel is limited, the ongoing issues with cancellations and delays mean more airlines should be thinking about how to incorporate other modes of transportation to make their passengers' journeys as smooth as possible.
Recently, Uber has started asking me whether I want to book a ride at my destination before I even depart. But what if I could do that directly through the airline? What if the airline offered me the option to book an Uber upon my arrival and informed Uber — probably in exchange for a fee — when I arrived ?
As air travel continues to suffer from high levels of disruption, airlines in the US need to tackle how to make flying less of a headache. And with business travel — which is a key part of airline profitability — still slow to, airlines need to figure out a way to mitigate travel disruptions, or they may end up with only price-conscious, less-predictable leisure travelers. And if that's the case, airlines are in trouble.
