Demand Responsive Transport - DRT
Demand responsive transport (DRT) is a flexible service that provides shared transport to users who specify their desired location and time of pick-up and drop-off.
DRT can complement fixed route public transport services and improve mobility in low-density areas and at low-demand times of day.
