It's because they serve only high-density areas with commuter-only routes that operate only in a very limited time frame (morning hours).

I think that such a model can not be called 'urban transit', a better term for it would be 'commuter private transit'.

And it has nothing to do with efficient massive urban transportation, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10207669
