1. A computer-implemented method for determining like routes in close temporal proximity among passengers for a dynamically operating transportation system and performing the process of like route consolidation (LRC) optimization, transferring those passengers with like routes in close temporal proximity to the same vehicle. The method specifically entails:

  • collecting and compiling relevant data necessary to perform LRC optimization;

    determining and executing operating patterns and transfers in accordance with LRC optimization;

    impromptu transfers at locations, not limited to, predefined as acceptable transfer areas, driver selected locations or fixed stations;

    combined application of LRC optimization techniques and in-motion passenger transfer;

    process of directing passengers, particularly in real-time, in accordance with the dynamic plans and/or changes produced as a result of LRC optimization.
