Public Transportation
IT'S complex
Designing and operating a public transportation service to the best of its capacity is extremely difficult. The combination of different forms of transport (tram, bus, subway, ferry, cable-car etc.) with a sophisticated, alternating timetable design and a required number of journeys makes it very hard for a public transport operator to identify the strengths and weaknesses of its network. Our SaaS solution arlas.city simplifies merging and aligning of public transport data silos to offer a comprehensive view on the network.

Not understanding the qualities or shortcomings of the transport system prevents the operator from optimising the service, and this, in turn, can impact millions of travellers.
“In 2011 the use of public transportation saved 865 million hours in travel time and 450 million gallons of fuel in 498 urban areas.”
