Optibus partners with Snapper Services to provide intelligent bus systems

Unified optimisation software platform Optibus has announced a global partnership with Snapper Services, a provider of intelligent public transportation data tools. 

The partnership integrates Optibus’ Performance Suite with Mosaiq Insights, Snapper Services’ transportation analytics platform.  

Through a single platform, public transportation operators and agencies can visualise complex data sets easily, implement improved runtimes, and monitor the impact of service changes. 

CEO and co-founder of Optibus, Amos Haggiag, said: “Reliable, on-time services are key to increasing public transportation ridership.

“With stronger data insights, operators and agencies worldwide can more quickly identify the cause of service disruptions and offer innovative solutions for on-time performance issues.

“We look forward to partnering with Snapper Services to continue bringing the most advanced planning tools to the public transportation industry.”

The integration with the Mosaiq Insights transportation analytics platform also enhances Optibus’ Performance Suite by comparing static data (what was planned) with historic automatic vehicle location data (e.g. traffic patterns, bus location, and timing). 

According to Optibus, viewing data sheets side-by-side provides operators and agencies with adequate data to precisely identify how service disruptions occur and how to adhere to timetables. 

What’s more, data sheets reportedly also enable data-driven decisions that improve on-time performance and reduce fines for schedule deviations.  

CEO of Snapper Services Miki Szikszai said: “We’re delighted to partner with Optibus to enable excellent network performance for public transit authorities and operators around the world.

“With Optibus, we are making it easier than ever for transit organisations to take advantage of the power of data-driven insights to continuously improve their networks in service of their communities.”
