53 Remix Testimonials

“This was perhaps my favorite public-meeting experience ever, since we came up with a solution that everyone liked, and some of our riders left the meeting knowing that they had a real constructive impact on shaping their transit system.”

“We never had drivers do multiple routes with the same bus before. This would have been difficult to do by hand since we never had such complex routes, on top of adding peak service hours. And now we’re saving a whole lot of money because of it.”

"I think it’s pretty safe to say what we’ve done, because of having Remix, we would not have been able to do without it. The difference is between doing it and not doing it, in a sense. Without Remix, it would’ve been impossible."

“How Remix really saves me time is instead of drawing something on, you know, taking a screenshot of Google and doing a hand-drawn line image, or doing something like that and submitting it to our graphics team and waiting on them to make a map, then realizing there’s a mistake and sending it back, I can do all this now and come up with unlimited scenarios within an hour.”

"Being a part of Transpo Talk on Slack has helped me realize EVERYONE in the industry is literally going through the same thing we are in Milwaukee. Planners don’t know the future of transit post-COVID-19 and we’re simply doing our best analyzing impacts of radical service changes week-to-week. It’s been eye-opening and inspiring to read how my peers are coping with the present and sharing new ideas to help address the many challenges of providing transit service amidst a pandemic and in the future."

“Remix allows us to pull in data in one spot and we can put it all together at one time, while we’re designing.”

“Remix has taken the heartache out of planning.”

“There are a lot of ways to skin a cat. We would draw it out, where we thought the proposed termini were, along with the proposed route, and that quickly gives us an estimate of not only the service hours and miles for each of those scenarios, roughly how many people and jobs and other demographic factors are nearby.”

"Remix makes the manual process of planning transit automatic. Remix helps me visualize options and test out different solutions on the fly."

"It's crucial to have accurate data to see the inequities of access to transportation."

"We’ve found Remix to be really productive for our purposes in using all the mapping layers, because people will make comparisons about neighborhoods and we’re able to pull up the data with Remix much more efficiently than without the program."

“With Remix, we’ll be able to use this tool to show the public, our Technical Advisory Committee and our Board Members how these changes will benefit their community.”

"We used Remix to plan and schedule the system expansion. Without Remix, we probably would have had to hire a team of 4 to 5 people totally dedicated to scheduling the expansion by hand."

"Explore gives us a quick glimpse of relevant data. It's easy to look at Explore and get the information needed. And that saves us time. It took us two to three days of making maps for our Title VI report. With Explore, it's an hour of clicking around and exporting maps and putting them into our report."

“Remix is the first tool where we can really play with our ideas and see the outcomes instantly. We just move a lot faster. We have better ideas because we can think more or less continuously.”
