... 46 Private Transit: Existing Services and Emerging Directions • Explore the use of consortium-based services for locations that need group transport but would be unable to support a productive public transit route. For suburban or low-density workplaces that have a critical mass of employees who don't drive -- particularly in sectors that employ many shift workers, such as hospitals, manufacturers, or warehouse and fulfillment operations -- but that couldn't support a public transit route, consortium-based services provide a variety of potential solutions that often build on existing high-capacity transit.
