You check your preferred trip planner app and can’t find a viable public transportation option, so you end up renting a car. It would be a shame not to use public transportation when it’s within reach.Flex is a part of GTFS that allows riders to discover Demand Responsive Transportation Services. This is especially exciting for rural transit providers who can look to start or expand flexible transit services with the confidence that riders can find those services more easily.
