RESPONSE – Demand-responsive transport to ensure accessibility, availability and reliability of rural public transport in the Baltic Sea area

[RESPONSE @RESPONSE_eu]

Any form of DRT is very dependant on the level of convenience for users, planners and providers. A concept of the ICT solution for integrated routing, booking, ticketing and payment planning has the potential to significantly improve the cost-effectiveness of the service.💵

[RESPONSE @RESPONSE_eu]

Demand responsive transport (#DRT) services are often completely separated from regular public transport in terms of routing, booking, ticketing etc, affecting users and providers. A solution could be an integrated, more automized system. Read more: https://t.co/tSXry5LQUJ

We have three new reports on using public data for uniform transportation modelling. 📊They suggest designing a generic data warehouse, deriving knowledge from the database, and visualizing it for better #DRT. 🗺️ All reports available in RESPONSE library: https://t.co/Rj0glTawPF

The inhabitants of Sõrve, Saaremaa would gladly continue to use demand-responsive transport. 🚐 Out of 50 DRT users 49 answered affirmatively. The service received a very high rating of 6.62 on a 7-grade scale. More conclusions about the Saaremaa pilot: https://t.co/9BLDEjUwYp

A new cost and demand prognostication tool is available for public use! 👩‍🔧 The network simulation tool can be used to run quick and informative transit simulations and be a great help for anyone planning demand-responsive transportation. Find it here: https://t.co/gTnfY4IIzE

"The largest savings come from the energy left unspent. The best way to cut transport emissions is to drive when necessary to places necessary," says Estonian environment minister Erki Savisaar, saying DRT could be one of the solutions in climate goals. https://t.co/FZhQGoUhqi

The pilot aims to improve mobility in areas or periods that currently have little or no public transport, and by this address vulnerable groups that today have problems reaching social activities. ⛹️‍♀️ More info: https://t.co/2D4bJ48ir3

A demand-responsive transportation project from Innland, Norway enables children to take a bus 🚌 home from the sports club, saving the environment, giving parents freedom and letting kids socialize with a sense of achievement.🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Everybody wins! #DRT

[RESPONSE @RESPONSE_eu]

More than 150 Estonian #transportation stakeholders from the local governments, public transport centres, ministries etc. gathered at the @RESPONSE_eu demand-responsive transportation seminar to discuss the potential of #DRT in improving #mobility in sparsely populated areas.

[RESPONSE @RESPONSE_eu]

What demand-responsive transport is, how does it work and why is it beneficial? This animation helps to explain this to those who haven´t heard about #DRT before. The animation is available in six languages (🇬🇧🇪🇪🇱🇹🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪).
