Dears, what you think when we change list of DRT systems by country to be ordered alphabetically? 1) To be more searchable 2) there is problem to evaluate a "relevance" of a country

I'll tentatively reply, because to the best of my knowledge Dial-a-Ride was coined by London Transport and the operators of the Greenwich Association of the Disabled GAD-About service for its clone, to service the whole of London, a scope far beyond GAD's mandate, in about 1984. GAD-About was set up in the late 1970s to provide comparable transport to London Transport's buses, at the same fare, but at a more door-to-door level, needed by people with mobility issues. GAD received operating grants from both the local and city authorities.
The choice of Mercedes minibuses was made under advice from the London Ambulance Service, who supply similar transport for more strictly medical purposes, and proved eminently satisfactory from the start. I was called in to do the accounting for the handover, done on a strict cost-recovery basis, and provided a draft accounting structure, which was designed to facilitate further roll-out. To find similar activities in the US is a very pleasant surprise.
Therefore, to answer your question, the initiative started in a self-help charity operating under predominantly public grant funding, and moved to the regional transport system in the public sector. There is no fundamental reason, were that for example to be a private franchise, for it not to operate in private hands, although I'm certain, given Greenwich's socialist principles, this might not get the originators' blessing. — Preceding

Economics
This article needs something on financial viability. Are any of these schemes successes, or are they just experiments which need masses of public funding support to continue?

Add entry for RTS On Demand under New York
I tried to add the following line under the section for New York State, USA. Unfortunately, my edit would not be saved because of some filter. I think my edit is reasonable. Could someone with elevated permissions please add this?
Regional Transit Service On Demand (RTS On Demand) in a cluster of zones surrounding Rochester [1]
