Okotoks Transit Upgrading On-Demand Technology
On Friday, October 15, 2021, Okotoks Transit will be upgrading on-demand technology in order to increase trip availability through the management of ride cancellations and no-shows. Currently, cancelled bookings and users that don’t show up account for 30% of total bookings; 25% of the cancellations are occurring within one hour of booking, which results in the loss of available capacity.
The new technology will monitor individual usage over a 30-day period. If a user has 10 or more bookings in this timeframe and cancels or does not show up for 40% or more of them within one hour of booking time, their ability to have multiple open bookings will be limited for seven days. At the beginning of the seven-day period, their cancellation/no-show history will be reset. During the seven-day period, they will be limited to two (2) simultaneously open bookings only. As one ride is completed, another one can be booked. After the 7-day period, unlimited bookings will be available again. If the limiting criteria are reached again, the process will repeat.
This upgrade is anticipated to reduce cancellation and no-show instances and increase overall available trip capacity at a time where we continue to experience demand higher than available supply. Thank you for your cooperation.
