I think it would be interesting to look at the economics more. The service doesn't necessarily need to be free. If it can beat Uber / Taxi / Airport Parking it would be competitive. If it just has to run when there's actual demand registered ahead of time, you an avoid a lot of costs. And if you regularly have demand from 3 cities - that means there's probably enough justification to run the service.
But most importantly in my mind, even in the most pessimistic view we're talking about a service that costs 10s of thousands dollars/year instead of the millions that any sort of regular bus route / train would cost.
