Description
DRT services are living a gathering momentum in Europe, especially in medium and small size cities and low-density suburbs surrounding large metropolitan areas. DRT, also known as "bus on memand" or "microtransit", allows the provision of public transport service through flexible routes and schedules, based on actual demand collected from users through digital or other communication tools.
From a concept widely known and exploited for many years in rural areas, this system has a growing potential to solve accessibility to urban low-demand areas thanks to digitalization of public transport and mass adoption of mobile phone by many segments of population.
MultiDEPART will develop tools to plan, manage and monitor DRT solutions, which will be applied to Lisbon, Barcelona Metropolitan Area and Thessaloniki, targeting Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) and facilitate the harmonization and scalability of DRT services across European cities.
