Known examples of flex service providers

[barbeau]

For now I'm going to try and collect links here of known flex service that we can potentially use as sample producers of GTFS-flex:

• RTD Denver - http://www.rtd-denver.com/callNRide.shtml
• JTA Jacksonville
  • http://claytransit.com/default2.asp?active_page_id=1018 ?
• HART Tampa - http://www.gohart.org/Pages/services-van.aspx
• FDOT report for all of Florida from 2013 - http://www.dot.state.fl.us/research-center/Completed_Proj/Summary_PTO/FDOT-BDK85-977-37-rpt.pdf
• King County Metro (Seattle, WA) - On-demand service, w/in a specific service area. Within that geographic area, the trip must either start or end at one particular transit hub - https://kingcounty.gov/depts/transportation/metro/programs-projects/innovation-technology/innovative-mobility/first-last-mile/ride2.aspx

Mitfahr|DE|zentrale promotes development of a rideshare data exchange standard. GTFS-flex might become such a standard, if common features of ridematching providers are supported. I think we could convince one or two german providers to produce a GTFS-flex stream.

This is an interesting idea to use GTFS-flex as a way of modeling planned rideshare trips, as they often have a "fixed route" with a tolerance for deviation.

It may also be useful to look at the rideshare section of this data formats roundup: http://trilliumtransit.com/2016/07/06/data-formats-roundup/

SF MTC's work with 3rd part rideshare apps is also interesting.

Can we coordinate? email me at [email protected].

Stadtnavi Herrenberg uses GTFS-Flex to let OTP compute routes including local on-demand buses (but doesn't follow the spec entirely); We built generate-herrenberg-gtfs-flex to patch the GTFS dataset and add flex trips.
