Operational cost reduction: Up to 15% savings Monthly cost savings for the municipality: ~€800–€1,200 Return on Investment (ROI): Achieved within the first 3–6 months
Thanks to Shotl, we were able to bring flexible, reliable transport to areas we couldn't serve before. Residents appreciate the simplicity and the improved service. It's a smart, cost-effective solution that really works.
, Transport Coordinator, Ajuntament de Vallirana
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.
