Starting in the 1990s, a huge expansion of air travel was induced by the deregulation of the EU commercial air market. The dramatic growth of the airlines in the last 15 years has brought important benefits to the consumers, offering them more choice of destinations and low fares. This has also seen a marked increase in independent travel, stimulated tourism and has considerably changed the way Europeans travel. It is estimated that millennials, generation in their twenties and early thirties, will account for nearly half of the workforce by 2020, and this trend will shape the future of travel, since they will travel more often and are most likely to extend their business trip into a vacation. Based on this trend, we have built a demand responsive, long-distance, low-cost intelligent passenger transportation system, that connects airports, places and people in peripheral cities and regions.
