Problem

Large bus lines and trains only pay their way on heavily used routes; thinly settled or out-of-the-way areas are left with no workable public transport at all.

Solution

Supplement the larger transit network with flexible mini-buses running on a fine-grained, on-demand basis, so that even thinly settled areas stay well connected.
