Abstract: The rapid urbanization of semi-urban areas has created a pressing need for efficient and flexible transportation solutions. On-demand transit services (ODTS), which enable passengers to request rides through a mobile app or a centralized platform, have emerged as a viable solution for meeting the transportation needs of semi-urban regions. This paper explores the potential of on-demand transit services in semi-urban areas, discussing their benefits, challenges, and the factors that influence their implementation. By analyzing existing case studies, technologies, and stakeholder perspectives, this paper highlights the transformative role of ODTS in bridging the mobility gap and improving the overall transport ecosystem in semi-urban settings. The paper concludes by proposing key recommendations for the successful deployment of ODTS in such regions.
Keywords: On-demand transit services, semi-urban areas, transportation, mobility, flexible transport solutions, ride-sharing, urbanization.
