Minibuses/ foxbuses for dense areas, a good idea?

So we have normal buses that go around the city, electrics in the city centre and normal diesels for longer journeys. But, what about an addition of small minibuses and foxbuses for built up areas like, say Highfields for instance.

So these buses will pick up people for a short fee in built up dense areas where normal buses can't go.

They can either go from A to B within that area, or go straight to town and back.

They can either stop at multiple stops or have one pick up and drop off point. These stops can be fixed places or change which may be notified to users on an app perhaps.

So for people who still have to walk a fair bit to catch a bus or walk far to go home from the bus stop, these will be ideal.

Do you think this is a good idea? Would there be a demand? Also before anyone yells at me, no I'm not an experienced city transport planner or something so I wouldn't be aware of the wider implications of this but I'm open to hearing any people suggest.

So which cars are just bought as cars, appliances for A to B. They're not loved or cared for. And after a few years they're moved on to new owners and inevitably the scrapyard. No one cares if they're gone, or how many are still running.

TLDR which cars are seen as simple products which are thrown away after a bit without a care?

I don't want to sound like I'm bragging but I was a very good driver after passing. I could drive confidently at speed whilst remaining safe. I could bay park in a single shot. Some family members and friends say I drive as if I've been driving for a long time. I thought I was a good driver but tried to not let it get to my head because one, an arrogant driver is a dangerous driver and two, being arrogant and thinking you're something is not allowed in my religion.

However, come parallel parking. First time i attempted it in my own car, a tiny Ka. I parked like 3ft away from the kerb. Then other days it would take me like 10 attempts to park. It's only now, nearly a year after driving that I can parallel park well😂
