For peak times, I'm imagining 8-12 seater vehicles where people sit in pods facing outwards, with dividers that could be retracted if you were speaking with your partner in the same vehicle. Pick-up points would be very near to your home, and drop-off very near to your work. No parking to worry about. Something in between a regular driven commute and walking three blocks to wait for a bus.
