Demand-responsive transportation is a family of transit service concepts in which the schedules and the routing of vehicles may be adjusted to serve specific needs of individual customers. Demand-responsive systems can fulfill a variety of transportation needs - both as a supplement to and a substitute for existing transit modes. In order to determine the role that demand-responsive transit will have in the future, various issues related to the implementation of such a system are discussed in light of data obtained from systems that have been or are in operation. These issues involve system dynamics, potential market vehicle productivity, economic viability, and the utility of computer control.
