Transit on Demand (Have Cell Will Travel)
What if you could make a call at any time on your cell phone and have
a vehicle come to you within minutes, take you to your local
destination, and cost about as much as a bus ride? Allen Hancock's
notion of demand-responsive transit fills the gap between the private
automobile and public transit.
Rather than fixed routes and schedules, smaller vehicles guided by
intelligent software with gps (geographic positioning system),
circulate to where riders are and want to go. Flexible, efficient, low-
cost, it uses existing vehicles and roads. Where's the town that will
implement this exciting pilot project?
