Description

In 2023, Trentino Trasporti launched the Bus&Go service in Garda Trentino using the OnOff app powered by Shotl. Designed to improve access in a region with dispersed villages and seasonal tourism, the service allows users to book shared rides via smartphone or phone call. Vehicles operate dynamically, grouping similar trips and reducing empty mileage. Key destinations include Riva del Garda, Arco, Nago, Torbole, and Drena. After strong initial uptake, the service was expanded in 2024 to cover more areas and hours. Bus&Go enables flexible, cost-effective mobility using existing fleets, while reducing CO₂ emissions and operational costs. A dedicated call center ensures access for non-digital users. Residents and visitors alike have praised its reliability, simplicity, and environmental benefits, making it a replicable model for other regions.

Impact & Result

Environmental impact: The Bus&Go service reduced unnecessary vehicle mileage by replacing fixed bus routes with demand-responsive routing. By increasing vehicle occupancy and eliminating empty trips, the system achieved an estimated annual CO₂ reduction of 18–25 tons. Fewer kilometers driven also led to lower fuel consumption and reduced noise and air pollution in sensitive touristic areas. Economic impact: Bus&Go uses existing vehicles and drivers, requiring no new capital investment. Operating

Solution Spotlight

Shotl is a mobility platform that empowers transport operators to supply on-demand bus services by matching multiple passengers headed in the same direction with a moving vehicle. The solution has been conceived to supplant inefficient bus lines or to improve existing shared transport services in business parks and corporations. It replaces low-ridership routes with on-demand bus in order to lead a progressive transition from a car-based culture towards a driverless integrated mobility. The Shotl platform consists of three powerful applications working seamlessly together: User App (Android and iOS) ; Driver App (Android and iOS) ; Management module (web tool). Its powerful backend algorithms are able to match users in shared vehicles as per their origins and destinations.
