Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You still have to keep the buses running while you try a new neighborhood shuttle. Healthy strategy is not all harvest and not all science-fair. Protect the value people use today and still carve out room to learn the next bet.
Full Explanation
A durable product strategy balances exploitation of current value streams with exploration of new ones. The live transit app funds trust and revenue; microtransit is a strategic experiment that needs protected capacity, not leftover scraps or a total freeze of the core. All-in on either side—or splitting into two uncoordinated Product Owners—turns a portfolio tension into either stagnation or a neglected cash cow.
