“Remix just makes my job easier. It creates all kinds of efficiencies throughout the operations department. It creates all kinds of efficiencies with me. And we all know that in operations, efficiency is the name of the game.”
“When planning, we're always trying to figure out commuter patterns. Remix provides that information in a very simple and visual way."
“With Remix, it’s so much easier than any tool we’ve ever used. We want everything to come back to Remix so we have it in place for future modifications.”
“We’re a small rural transit agency, but we want to be on the front line. To be able to be nimble and proactive and make changes is invaluable for us.”
“When you try to communicate to audiences goals, objectives, and strategies, it’s really difficult to show them, ‘what is improved access? What does that look like? We can use Remix to paint that picture visually. We can communicate to our elected officials and our planners why these are important objectives and strategies.”
“We’re small, but we’re proactive. We’re constantly looking at the performance levels of all of our routes, and doing as much as we can to get them to perform better.”
"Our main goal with planning a new route is to service as many people as possible. Using Remix gives us more confidence that a new route will be successful because it now becomes a data-driven business case."
"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."
“It’s great to see the effects of how we connect to our neighboring cities, Hamilton and Oakville, how we can incorporate routes there, and inside of our city, and meet the needs of our seniors, without actually spending the money. It was probably a day of clicking.”
“We learned so many things we didn’t know about our community and we have a robust new system to implement as a result.”
"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."
“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 sets the standard for us as a technology partner when we evaluate technology providers for other needs. We recently signed a new data vendor, and one of the main reasons we selected them was because they gave us a similar feeling to what we have experienced with Remix from a customer experience standpoint. Remix really sets the bar."
"I’ve been using Remix a lot to flesh out a lot of ideas that I have, both in terms of potential and new bus routes and for making modifications to existing routes. It’s a really great way to put lines and stops down on a map and try to gauge whether or not that’s going to work in real life."
"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."
