As urban landscapes evolve, so do the needs of the people who rely on public transportation. In many suburban and lower-density communities, traditional fixed-route buses often fall short — they’re underused, expensive to maintain, and too rigid to meet modern mobility expectations.

That’s why cities are turning to micro-mobility solutions — flexible, right-sized transit options that better serve today’s riders.

From early-stage pilot projects to citywide rollouts, Damera partners with municipalities and agencies to build scalable micro-mobility systems supported by real-world performance data, rider-focused technology, and comprehensive after-sales support.

Whether you're planning an on-demand transit service, replacing underperforming routes, or introducing a community shuttle, Damera is here to help you move forward — efficiently and sustainably.

What Is Micro-Mobility — and Why It’s Essential

Micro-mobility represents a shift toward smaller, more adaptable transit options designed to serve local neighborhoods, first/last-mile connections, and on-demand transportation needs. These solutions are built to meet the realities of modern ridership — especially in communities where conventional fixed-route buses no longer make sense.

Micro-mobility is about:

  • 🚏 Convenience — minimizing wait times and bringing service closer to where people live
  • 💸 Cost-efficiency — using smaller, more affordable vehicles for lower-density routes
  • Inclusive access — providing barrier-free service for seniors, parents, and people with disabilities
  • 🌱 Sustainability — deploying electric vehicles that help communities meet their environmental goals

Smarter Vehicles for Modern, Flexible Transit

The Karsan eJEST, available through Damera, is purpose-built for today’s micro-mobility needs. This compact, fully electric, low-floor minibus is designed to navigate residential streets, suburban areas, and other environments where larger buses struggle to operate efficiently.

Its proven performance and rider-friendly design have earned strong support across North America — from passengers to transit decision-makers. The eJEST is helping agencies grow ridership, unlock funding opportunities, and confidently roll out modern, community-centered transit solutions.

The best way to evaluate a transit vehicle is to see it in action. That’s why we offer municipalities, transit agencies, and contractors the opportunity to explore the Karsan eJEST through short-term demos, pilot programs, and community-focused demo days.

These hands-on experiences allow decision-makers and local stakeholders to ride, review, and evaluate the vehicle in real-world conditions — without long-term commitment.
