Shotl is a mobility platform that helps people share rides in minibuses that adapt to real-time passenger demand. Instead of using fixed bus routes that often run empty, Shotl allows passengers to book rides on their smartphones, and the system groups similar trips into a single, efficient journey. This reduces the number of vehicles on the road, lowers emissions, and offers better service to those living in suburban or low-density areas, including seniors and people without cars. City councils, universities, and business parks use Shotl to provide flexible, cost-effective mobility without needing new vehicles or infrastructure. The service is already active in several European cities, and has shown to reduce transport costs, increase accessibility, and support a shift toward more sustainable and inclusive public transport.

The Environmental Benefits

• •One shared Shotl minibus can replace up to 10 private cars during peak hours, cutting CO₂ emissions per passenger by almost three times compared to driving alone
• •Our smart routing system updates every few seconds, ensuring vehicles take the most efficient route and reducing wasted fuel by up to 30% compared to traditional fixed bus routes
• •The service can be launched in a new city in just a few weeks, thanks to customizable maps that adapt instantly to local roads, stops, and restrictions
• •By replacing low-occupancy fixed-route diesel buses with optimized on-demand routing, Mybuxi reduces total vehicle kilometers by ~35%, cutting diesel consumption by up to 87% and lowering CO₂ emissions by ~72 tonnes per year
• •By operating 70% of its service with electric minibuses, Mybuxi eliminates direct tailpipe CO₂ emissions for most trips, reducing per-passenger GHG emissions by nearly three times compared to the previous diesel-only service
• •Through optimized routing and fewer total kilometers traveled, the remaining diesel operations emit ~75% less NOx and fine particles annually compared to the previous fixed-route buses

The Financial Benefits

• •By replacing low-ridership fixed bus routes with on-demand shared transport, Shotl can cut operating costs by 15–35% while maintaining or improving service coverage
• •Higher passenger occupancy and fewer empty trips mean each journey costs up to 40% less per passenger compared to traditional fixed-route services
