Effect of Paratransit on Other Modes.

Paratransit, or Dial-a-Ride, is an alternative mode of flexible passenger transportation that does not follow fixed routes or schedules. At their simplest they may consist of a taxi or auto rickshaw which has no definite stop. A small bus that will run along a more or less defined route and then stop to pick up or discharge passengers on request may also considered as a type of paratransit. The current study is based on analyzing the effects of these paratransit modes on public transport and private vehicles.
