FlexiRide
FlexiRide is an on-demand bus service operating in Victoria, Australia, which is overseen by Public Transport Victoria. FlexiRide is the successor to the previous on-demand service in Victoria, Telebus, which operated in Chirnside Park, Croydon Hills, Lilydale, Mooroolbark, and Rowville. FlexiRide services operate within a fixed service area, and passengers can book trips anywhere within that service area to or from designated FlexiRide bus hubs. The services have no fixed route, operating only when passengers book a trip using a mobile app. FlexiRide services are often introduced to replace bus routes that get low patronage rates. FlexiRide has nine service areas that serve ten suburbs and towns. Each service area has its own bus operator and separate list of bus hubs.
