Leveraging data from on-demand transit
Public transport operators require comprehensive, reliable data for accurate decision-making and planning. However, data gathered from traditional fixed-route-and-schedule transit can only ever yield part of the picture. Visualizing the other half requires demand-responsive transit (DRT).
