It looked like Uber meets carpooling, or perhaps some sort of fancy work shuttle — and work shuttle companies open and close all the time, so I don't see what's newsworthy. They don't state why they're closing down, so I'm a bit puzzled on this one.

It's probably on the front page because Chariot was part of YC W15, and later acquired by Ford.
