Flexible public transport is the ideal way to serve disadvantaged communities. Shotl helps Local Authorities to reduce inequalities and create connections within and between communities with improved access to affordable transport, reduced congestion and improved air quality.
The Shotl Passenger App lets passengers hail a ride from their mobile phone or participate in pre-scheduled bookings. It keeps passengers connected with their trip with vehicle tracking, accurate pick-up and arrival estimates, pick-up points and walking instructions.
Pre-planned booking, centralised loading management and seat reservation improve the travel experience for our more vulnerable citizens - providing a more caring, reliable and trustworthy transport service for our most vulnerable citizens.
The Shotl Driver App is the guidance system for drivers. Sophisticated, configurable algorithms automatically adjusting routing in real-time to optimise passenger loading while minimising waiting times, carbon emissions and running costs for the best blend of user experience, revenue and running costs.
