Demand-responsive transport

Rides that run when passengers need them

Run dial-a-ride and on-demand transport on the same platform as taxi, patient transport and school transport. Every passenger’s needs on every trip, recurring trips booked once, shared rides planned with route optimization, and Flexbus lines with fixed stops, flexible zones and tickets in the app.

Flexbus

Lines with fixed stops and flexible zones

  • Build a line with fixed stops and zones drawn straight onto the map.
  • A stop can be served on every trip, or only when someone has booked it.
  • Schedules for each weekday, with times and boarding and exiting for every stop.
  • Bookings are gathered into one trip per departure, with control of seats and wheelchair positions.
  • Your own fare types and prices for the lines.

Tickets in the app

Passengers book and pay themselves

  • Choose the day, the line and the stops, or an address inside a zone.
  • The day’s departures with free seats, and a warning when few are left.
  • Several fare types per trip, and a return trip in the same booking.
  • Seats are held while the passenger pays in the app.
  • A booking reference right away, and the trip can be followed on the map.

Dial-a-ride

Every passenger’s needs, on every shared ride

  • Wheelchair, walker, escort and door-to-door service stored with the passenger and carried onto every trip.
  • Recurring trips booked once for weeks ahead, and changed for a single day in seconds.
  • Shared rides planned with route optimization, so only vehicles that meet every need are used.
  • Booked and estimated times for every stop, followed live by your dispatchers.

Route optimization

Recurring trips and AI-based route optimization

  • Plan anything from hundreds to thousands of trips in minutes with our AI-powered optimizer.
  • Works for recurring trips, school runs and one-off bookings.
  • Respects every rule: who can ride with whom, ride-time limits, and vehicle, equipment and driver requirements.
  • The AI plans, but you stay in control and see every route on the map.
  • Simulate different fleet mixes for your transport demand.
  • See distance driven, vehicle and driver costs, and CO2 emissions.
  • Plan with historical traffic data and automatic measurements of boarding and exiting times.
