According to a patent issued in late January, Amazon plans on using buses as mobile pickup location for package delivery. Customers would simply meet the bus at a convenient stop, and pick up their items from a removable delivery module attached to the vehicle, reported The Mercury News.
"A user may begin by entering an address or area in response to which the system may present a list of bus stops near the address or area. Once the user selects a bus stop, the system may present a list of time windows during which different buses carrying mobile pickup locations are scheduled to be at the stop, which can be selected by the user," the patent said.
