About Optibus

Founded in 2014, Optibus is a unified software platform that brings much-needed innovation to the public transportation industry. The platform leverages artificial intelligence (AI), advanced optimization algorithms, and distributed cloud computing to unite planning, scheduling, rostering, operations, real-time control, and passenger information in one cohesive place. By replacing manual, legacy processes with rapid optimization, Optibus empowers transportation agencies and operators to easily evaluate complex service scenarios and determine the best plans for their goals.

Used in over 7,000 cities across more than 35 countries, Optibus is driven by the vision of making public transportation the mobility mode of choice. The platform supports various transportation modes, including buses, electric vehicles, trams, shuttles, and ferries. By maximizing operational efficiency, Optibus helps clients cut costs, improve service reliability, promote transportation equity, and reduce environmental footprints—saving an estimated 11 million tons of CO2 annually.
