When traditional public transport reaches its limits

Rising costs, driver shortages and fluctuating demand put public transport under pressure. Fixed-line services are often inefficient outside peak hours, while call bus, call taxi or shared taxi systems are difficult to scale without digitalisation.

Line-based DRT
as a solution

Line-based on-demand transport combines fixed schedules with demand-driven operations. Passengers keep familiar timetables and stops, while operations are managed efficiently and dynamically in the background.

6 reasons for line-based DRT

Location Icon Cost control Schedule frequencies make operating costs predictable and define a clear cost ceiling.
Utilisation Vehicles operate only when needed and can serve multiple lines, increasing passengers per trip and reducing empty runs.
Location Icon Efficiency Automated dispatch reduces manual effort and improves overall resource utilisation.
Transparency Transparent and efficient operations with full visibility over rides and utilisation for operators and authorities.
User acceptance Easy booking via app or phone, combined with familiar schedules, encourages user adoption.
Integration Seamless integration into existing public transport systems and MaaS platforms while avoiding parallel services.

The technology behind it

Location Icon Line integration Easily integrate and manage existing lines and quickly create new ones - with the Lines functionality.
Scalable control A single platform for multiple operators and different on-demand transport types such as call taxi, call bus or public transport Taxi, enabled by a multi-tenant system.
