New Zealand on-demand public transport
New Zealand uses on-demand public transport and demand responsive transport as the public terms. Total Mobility is a separate, subsidised accessible scheme. Do not mix the two in one product description.
How the platform is used
Several New Zealand regions have trialled or operated on-demand public buses as a complement to infrequent fixed routes. The procurement language is public transport, not microtransit.
Waka Kotahi and regional councils set public-transport policy. Software suppliers do not. maas.maker can run the bookings and the board for an operator contracted by a council.
Accessible public on-demand still has to carry wheelchair users on an equivalent basis. Total Mobility remains the separate door-to-door subsidy for people who cannot use ordinary PT. Use the Total Mobility page for that scheme.

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.
