MICROTRANSIT AND DEMAND-RESPONSE

Rides that run when riders need them

Run dial-a-ride and on-demand microtransit on the same platform as your school transportation, shuttles and paratransit. Every rider’s needs on every trip, shared rides planned with route optimization, and Flexbus lines with fixed stops, flexible zones and tickets in the app.

Flexbus

Lines that run only when they are booked

Where a fixed bus would run empty, a Flexbus line runs when someone needs it. You set up the stops or the zone, and the trips are planned from the bookings.
  • Fixed stops, timetables or flexible zones
  • Vehicles run only the trips riders have booked
  • Pickups planned along the line as bookings come in

Passenger app

Booked and paid in the app

Riders book their seat in your own app, see when the vehicle will come and follow it on the map.
  • Riders pick a line, a stop and a departure
  • Tickets bought in the app
  • The vehicle followed on the map until it arrives

Dial-a-ride

Every rider’s needs, on every shared ride

Shared rides are planned so that only vehicles that meet every need are used, and a single day’s trip can be changed in seconds.
  • Wheelchair, walker, escort and door-to-door service stored with the rider
  • Recurring trips booked once for weeks ahead
  • Booked and estimated times for every stop, followed live

Route optimization

More riders per vehicle

Route optimization groups the trips that fit together, so your vehicles carry more riders on fewer miles without anyone arriving late.
  • Shared rides combined automatically
  • Time windows and ride-time limits kept
  • Fewer empty miles

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Microtransit and demand-response, answered

What is a Flexbus line?
A line with fixed stops that only runs when someone has booked it, or a flexible zone where the vehicle picks riders up where they are. Riders book a seat in the app and the vehicle runs the trips that are booked.
Can dial-a-ride and microtransit lines run in the same operation?
Yes. Dial-a-ride trips, Flexbus lines, school routes and shuttles share the same dispatch, vehicles and drivers, so you can use your fleet where it is needed.
Can riders book through another app?
Yes. The API lets trip planners and MaaS platforms book, change and cancel trips, and webhooks tell them as each trip moves along.
