Abstract:This report provides an overview of the development of paratransit options in Europe. The document reviews the experience with public demand responsive services by country, and examines factors which led to their expansion or decline. It covers various types of taxi services, including route taxis, contract services for the elderly and handicapped, and several "quasi-cab" services. A short section on rural systems focuses on English and French experience, with some mention of other postal bus systems. An overview of "publicar" self-drive concepts and ridesharing arrangements rounds out the document. The report should be especially useful to system planners or policy makers considering alternative paratransit approaches.
