"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 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.”
"Before Remix, it was a non-starter to bring innovative ideas. With this technology, we now have opened doors to a dialogue that otherwise would not have happened."
“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.”
"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."
“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.”
“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.”
"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."
“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.”
“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."
"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 allows us to pull in data in one spot and we can put it all together at one time, while we’re designing.”
"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."
“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.”
