How we plan the routes
First we cluster staff addresses by neighbourhood. The goal is not door-to-door pick-up but a stop network where no employee walks more than seven or eight minutes. That shortens total run time and lets one vehicle serve more people. We then time each route backwards from the shift: aiming to be at the gate ten minutes before start, with a 25-30% buffer for city traffic. The first two weeks after launch are an observation period; stop order and departure times are revised against the arrival times actually recorded.
