## Description
The DRT scheme (Tiger on Demand) is a flexible service that provides shared transport to users who specify their desired location and time of pick-up and drop-off using an app or call centre.

The number of vehicles for each zone is as follows:
East Cambridgeshire – 2 x 22 seat vehicles.
Fenland – 1 x 16 seat vehicle.
South Cambridgeshire – 2 x 16 seat vehicles.
