The problem is that if the profitable routes are private, who will run the unprofitable ones? This is effectively siphoning money away from the profitable public transit routes placing more of a burden on transit agencies.
That being said, even if it’s 50% cheaper than a normal uber I doubt anyone will use it.

If there’s already public transport on the route, why would anyone chose a presumably more expensive Uber-bus?
If the timing is better and it’s cheap enough I’ve taken an uber to avoid 30+ minute bus waits before.
