“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“To draw a route in a more conventional GIS environment takes maybe about an hour. In Remix, you can draw a route in less than a minute.”
"There is nothing else like Remix in the marketplace. It’s so many tools in one resourceful package, useful and intuitive for experts and newbies alike."
“It gives you confidence when you have a tool that provides a good prediction of what should happen, cost-wise.”
"Remix makes the manual process of planning transit automatic. Remix helps me visualize options and test out different solutions on the fly."
“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.”
"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."
“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.”
“The improvements in the bus routes have increased up to 3,000 daily riders for Tren Urbano in the first months after the change was implemented.”
"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 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.”
"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."
“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.”
