53 Remix Testimonials

“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.”

“Remix took what was always a laborious process and turned it into an extremely simple, dynamic method of doing both on-the-fly and detailed service planning.”

"With Remix, we don’t risk making the wrong decisions based on gut feeling. We can now make more real-time, data-driven decisions that positively impact our communities."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

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

“It’s easy because in Remix, instead of doing the whole route, you can just say, OK, what does it look like if we just go from here to Barstow. That’s what I really like about it. I don’t have to actually drive it, or time it. I don’t want to drive all the way, three hours roundtrip, from Needles!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"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 could pull Remix up on the screen in every meeting and say, ‘Okay, I’d like to see the route go down this street,’ and we could see roughly how much that would cost us in real time.”

“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.”
