Customers will use Ford’s Chariot mobile app to book and pay for rides along the fixed routes, which connect existing train stations and subway stops.
Ford acquired Chariot Transit Inc., a San Francisco-based private shuttle service in 2016. Now a Ford subsidiary, Chariot provides similar van-sharing services in California, New York, Texas and Washington. Specific routes typically are determined by demand and rider location.
Ford’s research says every variable-route shuttle deployed during rush hour can reduce traffic congestion by 25 vehicles.
