- Visibility on real-time occupancy
- Maximise the utilisation of each bus
- Reduce cost by having effective bus route planning
- Enhance passenger experience
Key Features
Gain a Company Overview on Passenger Count
A centralised view to assess the performance of all the routes in the company.
- Which routes have the highest and lowest passenger activity?
- Are the routes over or under performing against the company's KPI in terms of passenger counts?
Understand Passengers’ usage of Stations and Trips

- Which part of the route is busy or under-utilised?
- At which point of the route do most passengers enter/exit the bus?
- Can the frequency of bus trips cope with the demand?
Analyse Bus Occupancy Over Time
Drill further down to the smallest granularity to assess passenger activity per bus trip.
- When are the peak hours?
- How often does passenger counts exceed the maximum seating capacity?
