Everything about Demand Responsive Transport totally explainedDemand responsive transport or demand responsive transit (DRT) is "an advanced, user-oriented form of public transport characterised by flexible routing and scheduling of small/medium vehicles operating in shared-ride mode between pick-up and drop-off locations according to passengers needs".
DRT systems provide a public transport service in rural areas or areas of low passenger demand, where a regular bus service may not be as viable. As such, DRT schemes for may be fully or partially funded by the local transit authority, as providers of socially necessary transport. As such, operators of DRT schemes may be selected by public tendering. Other schemes may be partially or fully self-funded as community centred not for profit social enterprises (such as a Community interest company in the UK).
DRT schemes may also be provided by private companies for commercial reasons, some conventional bus operating companies have set-up DRT style airport bus services, which compete with larger private hire airport shuttle companies.
