abstract |
This chapter begins by defining what is traditionally meant by the term 'paratransit',
before exploring why it has remained a relatively niche transport concern. Societal
trends have shifted to a pattern of demand that is ill-suited to the system design
for conventional public transport. Emerging IT applications offer the potential to
introduce a new model of public transport appropriate to the travel needs of the 21st
century. Paratransit modes are appealing because they could dynamically match the
supply of a service with the level of demand required, unlike conventional models
of public transport based on fading historical demand patterns.
But the regulatory environment for the local passenger sector has been built incrementally
over many years around the institutional frameworks for buses and taxis. Paratransit
alternatives often do not fully fit under any of these categorisations with the result
that they often do not have an institutional home and thus either upset the status
quo (as with Uber currently) or else are still born.
A redefinition of paratransit is proposed to facilitate a regulatory change to help
address the institutional challenges of paratransit innovations |
