Many rural areas face a lack of public transportation.
Although the need of public transportation services is undeniable, allocating buses on scheduled routes and times is financially unjustifiable. By use of ESA's Artemis satellite a Canadian-Belgian cooperation has created the efficient 'bus on demand' solution - 'SatelBus' - which provides a more efficient service for remote rural areas allowing for rapid changes in bus itineraries based on last-minute requests.
