A roaming transport distribution management apparatus and method are provided. A controller selects transports within a defined service zone in response to customer transit requests from customer locations for customer pick-up and delivery inbound or outbound directions from the hub. A hub manager varies the position and/or the size of an exclusive coverage area of each transport within the overall service zone to insure a dense accumulation of transports over the entire service zone and alters the position of other transports in response to the movement of a transport inbound or outbound from the hub with a passenger. The hub manager can vary the size of the exclusive coverage area of each transport to account for population and request call densities and the number of available transports. In addition, the transport system may be used to transport goods from a delivery source to a customer designated location within the service zone as well as coupling the goods with the customer at a central hub when the customer arrives at the central hub.
