Is it a perfect idea? No.

But I like the out of the box thinking and it is definitely worth trying out.

I went on a business trip to Chandler, AZ and they had a similar set with a company called VIA. It was one of those huge vans and wasn't point to point exactly. Seemed like a good deal, you could sit in the van and go across town for like $1.50.

Good if it reduces drunk driving accidents, injuries and deaths.

ONE person with bad injuries requiring ambulance, maybe helicopter, maybe one or two surgeries, rehab can cost a government (since if the person is on medicare or medicaid that is who will pay) hundreds of thousands of dollars. A person I know was hit badly on the Long Island Expressway by some drunk, pulled by good samaritans from the burning wreck and airlifted to the Trauma One Hospital on Long Island (Stony Brook) and the helicopeter alone cost 87,000 dollars and goodness know what they had to pay to help thje drunk guy who was even worse off but alive.And that is before even one doctor cut anyone open.
