James Vincent / The Verge:
Citymapper says it's shutting down Ride, its hybrid taxi and bus service in London, on July 14, due to onerous regulations and a desire to focus on other ideas  —  It's focusing on reinventing the travel pass instead  —  Transport app Citymapper is reliably, even admirably inventive, but not all its experiments work out.
