Save Money

Spiraling costs pose many great challenges, but real-time passenger information gives you the edge to recoup revenues without compromising service. As a transit fleet manager, you must balance increased passenger demand with the need to reduce expenses.

“NextBus produced a decrease in staff time from four full-time operators to two despite the increase of calls from 150 per day to 300 per day.”

Because your riders receive real-time arrival information, they can plan their trips with great efficiency even—with reduced vehicle frequency.

Here’s how NextBus can save you money:

• Using AVL data, the NextBus system reports on wasteful fuel usage enabling you to optimize routes and eliminate unnecessary idle time on routing schedules. 
• Better resource utilization reduces labor costs. With greater visibility into bus usage, you may find that fewer drivers, street supervisors, and line managers are necessary to meet the passenger demand, or that they can be re-deployed to meet your real needs.
• With greater visibility into usage, NextBus helps you right-size your transit fleet.
• Improve operator performance saves money, and NextBus helps you respond quickly to problem operators before they cause a costly accident.
