The Demand Responsive Transportation includes School Busses for children with special needs, Paratransit and Medical Trips. The ArcGIS Platform supports the key aspect of the business that is to produce schedules that: • Makes the operation as cost efficient as possible • Eliminates passenger inconvenience factors • Meet all restrictions and constraints
