Wait they didn't have them in the US? We've had uber shuttles for years in India

If you click the article link, then use a process called "reading", you would see:

The company has already launched similar services abroad in Egypt, Nigeria, and India. Now it’s bringing the concept to the United States.

Edit: I misunderstood and assumed he hadn't read the article, which is entirely too common these days.

Yeah, they knew this by reading the article, it seemed like. They were relating it to their experience, mentioned in the article, about it existing there. They were just surprised to find out they had it before the US. This doesn’t really denote them not having read the article.
