A new approach
“The new approach, using Logical Transport's LT
Enterprise system, is set to achieve substantial savings
by combining Demand Responsive Transit (DRT)
technologies together with a wide range of passenger
communication options including web technologies,
passenger kiosks, SMS text, GPRS and RTI (Real Time
Information) to provide passengers with a safe, secure
transport network that is responsive to their needs.

LT Enterprise delivers a fixed timetable/fixed schedule
service during peak times which see over half of passenger
movements by 09:30 with more flexible ‘virtual’ scheduling
during off-peak hours.Booking is simplified, through electronic kiosks located in hotel lobby’s, online or directly from the driver.
The system then calculates the optimum schedule against defined business rules with drivers manifest update in ‘real-time’ through onboard MDT’s.

“The result is a service that is flexible to not only meet but exceed SLA’s and passenger expectation;
making Heathrow ‘Hoppa’ the most convenient way to travel from your hotel to Heathrow
