ON-DEMAND TRANSIT | URBAN MOBILITY | PUBLIC TRANSIT | ECONOMIC MOBILITY | CITY COMMUTE On-Demand Transit
A new study by Boston Consulting Group takes a solid look at on-demand microtransit, with results firmly showing that “on-demand transit services work,” with the potential to decrease traffic by 15-30% while implementing a more efficient and comfortable way of traveling. PikMe Studios | 2020
Rather than fighting urban mobility hurdles, ride-hailing services are sometimes adding to them. Fortunately, cities facing decreasing public transportation usage and growing traffic gridlock now have a solution proven to reduce congestion, decrease pollution, boost economic mobility, and get people out of private vehicles: on-demand microtransit. They weighed metrics like the quality and efficiency of the service, whether the transit network struggled with or complemented existing public transportation, and if it reduced traffic congestion and pollution. Introduction
BCG revealed that more than 40% of riders would have taken public transit if a ride-hailing service had not been available “Even the more generic zonal on-demand transit services, intended to provide greater transportation coverage, are helping to feed commuters to mass transit. In Arlington, 27% of the trips have been to or from the local commuter rail station.”. Complementing Existing Transit
Lowering Pollution “On-demand transit can be a mighty ally in this effort. Despite using gas-powered vans, the West Sacramento and Arlington services yearly save an estimated 60 and 150 tons of CO2 emissions, respectively, by aggregating riders into shared vehicles and reducing solo trips.”
MINIMIZING CONGESTION By pooling riders, on-demand transit services can go a long way toward decreasing the number of vehicle miles traveled,” BCG wrote. “In Arlington, for example, the service helped reduce nearly 400,000 miles of travel that would have happened if the riders had driven solo, corresponding to a decrease of 36% of total vehicle miles traveled.
Progressing Economic Mobility By enhancing and extending the reach of public transit and giving people a convenient and affordable way to travel, on-demand transit also helps connect people to jobs, healthcare, education, and civic activities. As heeded by the BCG report, these services’ “convenience and flexibility better the user experience.
ON-DEMAND TRANSIT IS HERE TO STAY Beyond congestion alleviation, pollution reduction, and mass transit system improvement, Boston Consulting Group’s study confirms that on-demand transit is not simply a trend, but is rather a game-changing means that is here to stay. On-demand transit, through which we can enhance transportation access, provide a premium level of customer service, and obtain and analyze an unparalleled amount of data, revolutionizes what mass transit can be.
