Public Transport
Public transport organizations face significant challenges. Locally, regionally and nationally, the most popular routes are struggling to keep pace with demand. Infrastructure is often operating at the limits of capacity. Even minor component faults or unexpected asset downtime can have a huge and lasting ripple effect, with delays impacting trains, buses, metros and trams for many hours. However, in the future, mass transit players will have to accommodate growing numbers of passengers – within the existing road and rail network. Efficient, uninterrupted transportation services will be crucial to fulfilling an ever more complex mandate with limited resources. At the same time, customer expectations are on the rise. In an age of real-time communications, they are looking for smart solutions – that enable seamlessly coordinated travel across multiple means of transportation. They want to shift with speed and ease from trains and buses to car-sharing services or rental bicycles. And they want to plan their trip online or with a smartphone app. Moreover, they expect more precise, timelier information on departure and arrival times of trains, trams and buses – plus instant notification of delays, with advice on alternative travel options. Transportation operators must respond with state-of-the-art intermodal management systems – that make commuting and other forms of travel a simple, reliable, flexible and attractive experience.
