Public transport software encompasses a range of applications and platforms used by public transport agencies and operators to manage and optimize operations, within its transit networks. This can include route planning, ticketing, real-time tracking, asset management, customer feedback, etc.

History

The need for public transport software emerged with the rise in public transit use and the increasing complexity of transit networks in the late 20th century. Initially, manual methods were used for route planning and ticketing. As computing technology evolved, software solutions became crucial to handle the increasing demand and provide more sophisticated services to passengers.[1][2]

Types of public transport software

Route planning and optimization

This type of software aids in mapping out routes, schedules, and timings, ensuring minimal overlap, maximum coverage, and efficient use of resources. It helps transit agencies to improve punctuality and reduce operating costs.[3]

Ticketing and payment systems

Modern ticketing systems have moved beyond traditional paper tickets. With the advent of smartcards, mobile apps, and contactless payments, software platforms now handle complex fare calculations, payment processing, and revenue management.[4][5]

Real-time tracking and monitoring

With the help of GPS and other tracking technologies, these platforms provide real-time updates on vehicle locations, delays, and expected arrival times.[6] They also offer vital data to transport agencies and can be accessed by passengers through various means, including mobile apps and electronic display boards.[citation needed]

Maintenance and asset management

These platforms are used for monitoring the condition of vehicles and infrastructure, scheduling regular maintenance, and ensuring the longevity and safety of transit assets.[7]

Customer service and engagement

Modern public transport relies on customer feedback and engagement for improvements.[8] Software solutions can gather and analyze feedback, manage complaints, and provide passengers with timely updates and notifications.
