On-demand PT is not Total Mobility
A public on-demand bus is a regional public transport product. Total Mobility is a subsidised door-to-door scheme for eligible people. Riders, fares and vehicles overlap in the street and diverge in the contract.
How the platform is used
Vendors sometimes advertise one accessible van as both products. Councils and users experience them differently. Public on-demand has published hours and a zone. Total Mobility has eligibility and a subsidy rate set by government.
If you run both, keep two service products. Reporting will otherwise mix a public boarding with a subsidised taxi job.
This note is operational, not a statement of Waka Kotahi policy beyond the published scheme description.

One trip object
Web, app and telephone bookings share identifiers so a change on one channel updates the others.
Live assignment
Compatible trips share a vehicle inside published windows. Dispatchers keep a lock for exceptions.
Driver tools
Drivers see the next stop, rider notes and boarding status without a consumer super-app.
Operations reporting
Completed, cancelled and missed trips export for finance and compliance teams.

Scope
We walk through service type, fleet, booking channels and the reports you already have to file.
Configure
Branding, stops, hours, vehicle classes and assignment rules land in one tenant.
Train
Dispatchers, drivers and coordinators practise on the live board before opening hours.
Go live
The first operating weeks are coached. Exceptions, not the happy path, are the real product.
Modules you can combine. One tenant.
Start with booking, dispatch and the driver app. Add passenger apps, pooling rules, feeds and exports when the service needs them.
Explore the modulesA configured walkthrough, not a marketing video only. We look at your service type and fleet.
Questions teams ask
White-label software for booking, dispatching and reporting demand-responsive transport. It is not a consumer ride-hail brand.
No. Customers run the service with their own fleet or contracted carriers.
USD is the list-price base. You can switch the calculator to Australian dollars, New Zealand dollars or euro. Final contract currency is confirmed in a proposal.
Yes. Book a conversation and we walk through a configured tenant for your service type.
