Chariot is doing exactly the same thing as Uber, ie. subsidizing all the rides to get a low price. But they don't have the same network effects, they will go out of business soon.

But chariot has network effects:more passengers = Fuller vehicles + shorter routes = lower costs and lower trip times.

And I'm sure Ford did the math, they're not some VC with free money.
