Abstract

This paper outlines the results of a survey into socio-demographics of users of the Logan Demand Responsive Transit Trial in Queensland, Australia. Users of the service were surveyed to develop greater knowledge on the impacts of on-demand services on residents in low density environments. The survey was deployed prior to Covid-19, and collected responses from 400 individuals who had registered to use the service. Results indicate that most users lacked personal automobility and access to traditional fixed route public transit. These same users found accessing the on demand service easy, and experienced increased access to basic goods and services. The Logan DRT Trial provides serves as a usual model to study when deploying on-demand services in low population density environments.
