Demand-Responsive Transit

Demand-Responsive Transit (DRT) is a flexible transportation service that adjusts routes and schedules based on passenger needs, rather than fixed routes and timings like traditional buses. Users, often via booking in advance, specify their pick-up and drop-off locations, allowing the service to optimize routes dynamically. DRT is especially useful in low-density or rural areas, providing convenient, personalized transportation options, improving mobility for those who might not be served well by fixed-route systems. It enhances efficiency by reducing unnecessary trips and enables better resource allocation, making public transit more accessible and responsive to community needs.
