#Pamplona Keolis launches on-demand mobility service in Sydney suburb

The service, called Keoride, is operated by Keolis Downer, Keolis’ Australian subsidiary, and powered by Via, developer of shared-ride technology. This new ride-sharing service will provide a personalized, reliable and efficient service to local communities, and encourage the use of public transport for anyone in the Macquarie Park surrounding area, according to the company. Passengers will be picked up from a designated point within the Macquarie Park precinct to a designated point close to their destination. The additional flexibility and convenience offered by this on-demand transport service complements existing public transport options, helping to reduce personal car usage, pollution and congestion. This trial is part of the New South Wales Government’s On-Demand Public Transport Pilot Program and the Future Transport Technology Roadmap.
