On-demand mobility in small towns
On August 1st Shotl launched in Vallirana, a residential municipality on the outskirts of Barcelona. Now, after just some months of service feedback points towards unprecedented success. Vallirana’s public transport operator, Soler-i-Sauret had been dealing with the complexities of the town’s orography for years. Unlike traditional bus lines, on-demand services only go where and when there is demand. Such flexible service gives users the reassuring sense that accessibility is readily available. The case of Vallirana is a story of success for Shotl, and it demonstrates quite clearly that suburban and residential areas are an ideal location for real-time on-demand shuttles.
