Think of microtransit as an on-demand public transportation system:

  • Matches trip requests in real time, reminiscent of services like Uber or Lyft.
  • Operates within a concentrated geographic zone compared to expansive regional fixed-route systems.

  • Ensures minimal walking with pick-ups and drop-offs within a block or less.
  • Easy trip booking through a dedicated smartphone app, or a call-in option for non-smartphone users.
