CitySwift teams-up with Transdev and trentbarton
Public transport data intelligence specialist CitySwift is partnering with both Transdev Blazefield and trentbarton.
CitySwift provides a data platform designed to improve the performance of public transport networks using AI-powered analytics, simulations and optimisations. It will be working with both operators to help optimise their networks.
Through CitySwift’s performance optimisation software, Transdev Blazefield hopes to future-proof the bus network by utilising CitySwift’s intelligent data solutions. Transdev will be able to create a data-driven resilient bus network that responds to passenger needs by optimising reliability and resources thanks to CitySwift’s intelligent data hub, which provides access to high-quality network performance insights, optimal service recommendations and predictive analytics. Additionally, trentbarton aims to employ CitySwift’s technology to speed up network optimisation to provide a better user experience and gain precise insights that enable them to identify exactly what is occurring within the network. The CitySwift platform collects, filters and enhances data from hundreds of sources to give authorities and operators a reliable single source of knowledge.
“For the first time, thanks to CitySwift’s platform, we have a single source of truth for our bus network data” – Paul Turner, Commercial Director at Transdev Blazefield
Paul Turner, Commercial Director at Transdev Blazefield, said: “For the first time, thanks to CitySwift’s platform, we have a single source of truth for our bus network data. Having access to reliable data unlocks our team’s ability to quickly make decisions – ultimately enabling us to deliver a better service to our passengers.”
“CitySwift’s platform will also help us identify delays and hotspots on our network” – Tom Morgan, Managing Director at trentbarton
Tom Morgan, Managing Director at trentbarton, said: “Embracing data-driven decision making is reforming the way we plan our bus services, ensuring we’re meeting our customers top priority – punctuality. From optimising routes and schedules to enhancing customer experience, having access to intelligent data insights unlocks more efficient, reliable, and customer-centric bus services for all. CitySwift’s platform will also help us identify delays and hotspots on our network which our local authority partners are keen to prioritise us through, giving bus customers a clear advantage over the car.”
Transdev and trentbarton now join National Express, Transport for Wales, and Metroline, in using CitySwift’s technology to improve bus punctuality and increase passenger satisfaction.
