Case Study: Shoreline Metro achieves 43% higher rides per hour and 25% reduction in vehicle usage with Ecolane

Shoreline Metro - Customer Case Study

Shoreline Metro needed better control of vehicle revenue hours, higher hourly ridership, a smaller carbon footprint, less reliance on a large vehicle inventory, and streamlined data. To address these challenges they partnered with Ecolane and deployed Ecolane DRT scheduling and dispatching software, Ecolane Touch Screen MDTs, and the Advanced Ecolane Reporting System with ad-hoc reporting.

Ecolane’s implementation cut vehicle usage by 25%, raised rides per hour from 2.08 to 2.98 (a 43% increase), decreased vehicle revenue hours, and reduced reporting time from 4 hours to 30 minutes (an 87% reduction). Shoreline Metro also realized salary savings and improved trip-per-hour efficiency—demonstrating that Ecolane’s scheduling, dispatch, and reporting tools met their goals.
