How Optibus Shuttles Works
Powered by Moovex, Optibus Shuttles automatically re-routes trips based on passenger demand, reducing fuel waste, and eliminating unnecessary labor hours and mileage.
What once took hours or days now takes minutes, making it easy for shuttle operators to be fast and flexible. The solution considers constraints and regulations and generates the most profitable, reliable route in seconds.
Optibus Shuttles gives shuttle operators a range of abilities, including:
Dynamic route adjustments: Make your shuttle re-route automatically based on changes in pick-up and drop-off points and passenger demand, even for multiple sites.
Vehicle efficiency: Reduce the number of empty seats on your bus and avoid overcrowding by accurately matching vehicle capacity to the number of passengers.
Crew optimization: Create the optimal work schedules for your crew according to driver preferences.
Create a win-win for both your operation and passengers: Maintain service quality and ridership while reducing service mileage.
Reduce expenses: Identify opportunities to minimize labor hours and gas and charging costs.
Data transparency and insights: Break down silos between data and improve reporting capabilities between different teams.
Precise financial forecasting: Accurately estimate the cost of acquiring and adding services for a new client so that services are priced correctly, resulting in more cost-effective operations and more competitive tendering.
Hands-off operations: Optibus’ high-speed optimizations coupled with automation determine the best service plans, no manual work required.
