Abstract
Demand-responsive transit (DRT) is a flexible form of public transport that adjusts the service based on travelers’ needs. DRT usually operates as feeder services to traditional transit systems, providing connectivity to low density and rural areas. DRT systems also serve a social role by providing mobility alternatives to elders, people with reduced mobility, students, and other disadvantaged segments of the population. Different implementations of DRT worldwide are described to evaluate and assess the main characteristic of these systems.
