Abstract: The emergence of demand responsive transport (DRT) services is restructuring mobility in the urban universe. They provide a high level of service and in many cases compete with public transportation modes. However, in less dense areas, where conventional public transit (CPT) services such as buses are inefficient and costly, DRT services could be an alternative that is both profitable and provides passenger satisfaction.
