53 Remix Testimonials

“When planning, we're always trying to figure out commuter patterns. Remix provides that information in a very simple and visual way."

“In Remix, it was very easy to show them around. When we were done talking about Route 100, we could look at Route 300, and everyone could quickly see where things go.”

“What Remix has done has really streamlined the process for us. It’s really an ideal tool at the intersection of GIS and scheduling.”

"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."

“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.”

"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.”

“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.”

"What's great is that more than just planners use Remix at our agency. Anyone here can use Remix to work on concepts, which allows us to get as creative as we want."

“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.”

“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.”

“I could have done it without Remix, but it would have been such a time-consuming process. The time of planning, and the management of information, has changed so much with Remix. It’s such a great tool and such a rich resource.”

“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.”

“There is nothing else like Remix in the transit marketplace. It places many planning tools into one resourceful package, providing a useful and intuitive solution for both expert planners and newbies.”

“Everything from long-range, 20-year long-range planning all the way down to operator scheduling, runcutting, bidding, bid administration, and every step in between. We do long-range planning, we do short-range planning, we do annual budget developments, we do both short-range and long-range service planning and changes, route expansions and improvements, project implementation. We also have a large role in technology implementation and projects, so right now we’re in the middle of the implementation of our automated vehicle location system. We do our routine service and schedule changes, which includes assembling and administering the bidding process. This part of the year, we’re starting on our annual budgeting process for trading out budgets for the next year, our operating budget and our capital budget, which we do every year for a 10-year window. Also, we do a lot of grant work.”
