Demand-Responsive Transport and Payment Solution

Urbanization has inevitably created peripheral areas in specific regions and left people living there without public transport access, because it wouldn’t be economically reasonable for operators to provide the service in the area without significant demand.

For the public transport operator, the on-demand service helps increasing efficiency by dispatching the vehicle with right seating capacity. It is also an obligation of local authorities to provide transport service for people unable to independently use or access public transport, because of their health condition. Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) helps to relieve these problems by providing service, which is not dependent on a specific fixed bus route or schedule
