About

Shotl Driver

Features
Read full description

Shotl On-demand Shuttles is a platform for mass transport operators and smart cities that matches multiple passengers headed in the same direction with an available vehicle. At Shotl, we want to help cities and corporations make a better use of its bus system by replacing low-ridership routes with on-demand shuttles in order to lead a progressive transition from a primarily car-based personal mobility towards a future multi-modal integrated mobility. The Driver’s App guides the vehicle to retrieve the passengers at a pick-up point and expresses them to the final drop-off point. All routes are fully dynamic and adjusted in real time, based on traffic and demand. The Shotl algorithms are made to ensure the maximum punctuality on every ride. Shotl provides effective pooled transportation, hence all rides are shared with other passengers heading to a similar destination or with common directions.
