Introducing West Palm Beach’s Newest Electric Mini-Bus

As part of a new pilot program, Circuit, a trusted transportation partner in West Palm Beach, has introduced  fully electric, purpose-built Karsan eJEST minibus to the region, giving residents and transportation leaders the chance to experience its benefits firsthand.

Why Launch a Pilot?

‍Before a full rollout, a pilot program allows communities and transit partners to evaluate performance, collect feedback, and showcase the vehicle to stakeholders. Demonstrating the eJEST’s real-world strengths—from its compact design to its smooth ride—helps generate public interest, build local support, and shape future deployment decisions.

About Circuit

Known for operating electric microtransit services across the U.S., Circuit combines cutting-edge vehicles with strong community engagement and smart service planning. The company provides eco-friendly, all-electric shuttle services in cities across the U.S., closing first- and last-mile transit gaps while reducing congestion and emissions. The new eJEST pilot is a continuation of their deep local partnerships, including work with the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and the launch of RideWPB in 2023—an innovative fixed-route electric shuttle system.

Circuit has been at the forefront of clean, on-demand transit since 2011. Their model offers a full-service package: trained drivers, powerful digital platforms, and a diverse electric fleet—all designed to scale efficiently. In West Palm Beach, their commitment is clear. Alongside the eJEST, Circuit also operates the city’s Autonomous Vehicle pilot and collaborates with services like Rose Trolley, contributing to a holistic, sustainable transportation ecosystem.

Why eJEST is a Game-Changer

‍

‍

Already a popular choice in European cities, the Karsan eJEST is compact enough to handle tight urban roads, yet spacious enough to provide comfortable, wheelchair-accessible rides. This unique blend makes it an ideal solution for cities like West Palm Beach that want to improve coverage and rider experience without relying on oversized transit vehicles.

Since its arrival, the eJEST has made a bold statement. It was featured at major mobility events including the Safe Streets Summit and CoMotion Miami, where global transportation leaders praised its design and impact. Local city officials from Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and other neighboring communities have toured and test-driven the eJEST, recognizing its potential to transform regional mobility.

‍

Pilot programs like this offer immense value—not just to cities exploring new transit solutions, but to the communities they serve. By testing the eJEST in real-world conditions, agencies can assess performance, gather user feedback, and make informed decisions about broader deployment. It’s a smart, strategic approach to adopting innovative technology that ensures every route, rider, and dollar delivers maximum impact.
