Comings and goings: on-demand mobility for isolated rural areas
Intermunicipal Community of Viseu Dão Lafões
Portugal
Comings and Goings (Ir e Vir in Portuguese) is a joint initiative aimed at providing new mobility options for the inhabitants of the Viseu Dão Lafões region (PT), involving 13 municipalities. This flexible on-demand transport service overcomes the limitations of conventional public transport in isolated and low-density areas. It increases accessibility and strengthens the coverage of the existing transport network. The Comings and Goings service allows residents to book cabs by calling a reservation centre for free. The service operates only when a booking is made, travelling to prearranged stops at set times. The fare for the service is equal to the price of a bus ticket for the same distance, ensuring affordable pricing.
