Silicon Valley has invented the jitney/marshrutka, just a little bit over a century after everyone else did. Well...congratulations?
And then they'll find that they always end up sending those vehicles down the same streets, and start using bigger vehicles, and they'll reinvent the bus.
Mind you, reinventing something is great (e.g. typing this from a radically reinvented phone). This, OTOH, is just inventing square wheels and patting oneself on the back for being original.
