What is transport on demand?

Published on

Complementary to the existing transport network, this service is offered in areas where conventional public transport (bus or coach) is not suitable, so that residents can get to a station, a standard bus route, or important locations such as hospitals, shopping centres or cultural and leisure centres.

 

It can be set up in one of two ways:

As a virtual route. As with a standard bus route, the Transport on Demand service has a defined route and stops. The bus does not leave until a passenger has made a reservation on the route.

By zone. There is no predefined route, the Transport on Demand service operates within a given area. Depending on their point of departure, the passenger can start their journey from one or more bus stops. The bus service operates upon request.

All of these services operate with the same pricing as a conventional bus route.
