Integrating passenger and freight transport systems, known as co-modality, is becoming more feasible due to recent developments in information communication technologies (ICT) such smart phones global position systems (GPS). This paper uses simulation of an on-demand transportation scheme which passengers parcels can travel together explore the benefits co-modality when compared existing schemes. It shown that, depending on demand, provide improved experiences for both operators passengers/customers.
