53 Remix Testimonials

“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.”

“Imagine being able to visually demonstrate how the change of bus routes would affect population coverage and at the same time show the financial cost – all at the click of a mouse. With Remix, people see trade-offs between planning decisions in seconds, in a way that is easy to understand.”

“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’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."

“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.”

“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.”

"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 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.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

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

“We learned so many things we didn’t know about our community and we have a robust new system to implement as a result.”

“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.”

“When it came time to finalize the plan, getting buy-in was easier because they actually understood it.”
