VTA Launching Flex On-Demand Pilot Jan 11

VTA is launching a new software-powered, on-demand transit service on Jan. 11 in an area of North San Jose within about three miles of Tasman Light Rail Station. The service is called Flex and if you look closely you’ll see decals on North San Jose sidewalks marking where Flex can pick you up or drop you off.

How will it work? You can download the smartphone app starting Jan. 8. 

Load a credit card and start requesting on-demand rides Jan. 11. Watch for real-time predictions as your driver approaches on a software-optimized route. Enjoy a short, shared ride to your destination within the pilot zone. It’s as easy as that.
