4.2.1 - Provide Demand Responsive Transit Service
This page shows the collection of processes that make up the Provide Demand Responsive Transit Service facility within the Manage Transit function. The processes in this facility generate transit schedules that are tailored to the specific needs of travelers. These processes provide the response to a traveler's request for a demand responsive transit service. This request is received from the Provide Driver and Traveler Services function and will therefore be made as part of a trip plan by the traveler. Details of the proposed service are sent back to the traveler for confirmation, after which they are sent to both the transit vehicle operator and the transit operations personnel. Demand responsive transit services tailored to a traveler's needs are requested as part of trip plans. Demand responsive transit services will be integrated into regular transit services if possible. Demand responsive transit service is only activated after confirmation from the traveler. Demand responsive transit service details are made available for regular transit service generation.
