Use Cases / Rail & metro feeders
First/last mile
Rail & metro feeders
A metro is only as strong as the journey to the station. RouteSync designs and runs feeder networks that turn last-mile trips into rail boardings instead of leakage.
The challenge
When a metro corridor opens, feeder buses often keep running legacy routes — leaving stations under-served and feeders half-empty. First/last-mile gaps quietly cap ridership on the line everyone invested in.
- Feeders running legacy routes after a metro opens
- Stations under-served at the catchment edge
- Poor timetable sync between feeder and rail
- Duplication between city bus and feeder services
How RouteSync helps
- Station catchment and access-demand mapping
- Covered, uncovered and balanced feeder route creation
- Feeder timetables synchronised to metro timings
- Shared-auto, e-rickshaw and micro-mobility feeder loops
- Overlap detection between city bus and feeders
