Transportation on-demand (TOD)

Transportation on Demand (TOD) is a transportation service adapted to areas where the demand for mobility is diffuse, unlike urban areas: business zones, suburban areas, rural communities or even night services.

Extending public mobility services in time and space

Transportation on Demand (TOD) is a transportation service adapted to areas where the demand for mobility is diffuse, unlike urban areas: business zones, suburban areas, rural communities or even night services. 

Our on-demand transportation solutions are set up to promote social cohesion and open up territories. 

Complementary to, and integrated with, regular public transportation networks, they provide flexibility and freedom in daily mobility.

A simple and intuitive customer journey

We were among the first to digitalize these TAD services. For more than 10 years, our teams have been developing technological modules for efficient on-demand transportation and a personalized, simple and intuitive passenger experience.

In concrete terms, Transdev’s transport on demand (TOD) is :

  • More than 300 operations worldwide;
  • Algorithms for optimizing services, combined with a variety of reservation channels, adapted to the diversity of our customers: mobile application, website or telephone;
  • 200 engineers in France, the Netherlands, the United States and Australia are continuously improving our solutions, testing new ones and developing dedicated applications and websites;
  • Teams that work to ensure that the product is well adapted to each territory and that it complements the existing network.

We work with local authorities to propose a “talor made” offer: the areas to be covered, the customers, the specifications of the on-demand transport network to be set up, are different each time. Our adapted solutions cover 4 types of needs:

  • stop-to-hub: to move from a stop in a defined area to one or more feeder points (usually an interchange)
  • stop-to-stop: to move from one stop to another stop in a defined area
  • flexi: to move from a stop on a regular line to a stop in a defined area and back
  • virtual line: to move from one stop to another on a defined line, only on demand

Integrate carpooling into the existing network

In order to offer mobility solutions that provide ever greater freedom and flexibility, we partner with the most successful start-ups to constantly innovate.

We offer a complementary carpooling service that integrates other modes of transportation.

The key? A complete multi-modal integration offering travelers a seamless journey.
