Microtransit refers to flexible, on-demand transportation services that operate in smaller vehicles, such as vans or shuttles. These services are designed to fill gaps in public transit systems, providing convenient options for passengers in areas with limited access to traditional buses or trains. Typically, microtransit services use mobile apps to allow users to request rides, similar to ride-sharing platforms. They often operate within specific zones and can adjust routes based on real-time demand, making them a cost-effective and efficient solution for urban and suburban transportation challenges.
