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.

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 Groups
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.
