Abstract:<\/em><\/span> Ever since the 1970s, Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) has been promoted as a transport solution in\u00a0circumstances where more traditional services are not economically viable, although so far a range of\u00a0barriers has prevented its widespread adoption. More recently, new developments in operational and\u00a0vehicle technology, coupled with significant cuts to public transport subsidy budgets, promote a\u00a0willingness to explore \u2018institutionally challenging\u2019 options such as integrating transport provision across\u00a0a range of different sectors. This has once more pushed the DRT concept forward as a possible option for\u00a0saving money whilst retaining opportunities for accessibility.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, it is now useful to explore the current provision of DRT in Great Britain, in order to\u00a0determine what type of services exist and to examine which are working well and why.\u00a0Specifically, the\u00a0paper draws on a national survey of DRT providers to examine the design, performance, rationale and\u00a0likely futures of DRT schemes.<\/p>\n

Key findings suggest a growing role for stakeholders from the voluntary sector and the private sector,\u00a0the latter resulting in a greater use of smaller vehicles. Linear regression models highlight that passenger\u00a0numbers are influenced by the size of operation (in terms of seats offered) and by the use of smaller \u2018car\u2019\u00a0vehicles, particularly in rural areas. Increasingly, objectives highlight the importance of DRT in providing\u00a0access and geographical coverage, though insufficient revenue presents a challenge in achieving this.\u00a0The long term financial sustainability of such schemes continues to be questioned, with a limited number of\u00a0schemes recognised as commercially sustainable. Naturally, therefore, cost and funding remain dominant\u00a0concerns of DRT service providers. The organisational response to funding reductions has been diverse.\u00a0The result is that DRT services have either been withdrawn or, in some cases, replaced conventional bus\u00a0services due to DRT being a more cost-effective way of meeting local needs.<\/p>\n
