Abstract
There has been a constant lack in transport resources in rural area, hence rural residents have relatively less access to basic opportunities; in highly motorized contemporary societies, residents of rural and other low-density areas are often more car-dependent as a result. In order to facilitate the post-car transition and to propose context sensitive policies, the basic prerequisite is a clear and comprehensive understanding of all alternatives to car. Due to technological developments as well as social changes, DRT (Demand Responsive Transport) has returned to the hot spot of practical exploration in recent years. As a mode of transport adapted to low-density areas, it may be the main option for alternatives.
DRT is an elastic alternative to traditional public transport, characterized by lower capacity road vehicles and routes or schedules that can be varied in response to demand
