Case Study: SORTA improves bus network planning and service with GIRO HASTUS-NetPlan

Sorta improves travel efficiency by 20% with GIRO

Sorta, the public bus transit agency for Greater Cincinnati, faced the challenge of reinventing its network to provide better connections to jobs and opportunities. Their previous planning process relied on manual estimates and cumbersome tools. To achieve more accurate results and shorten their planning process, Sorta adopted the HASTUS-NetPlan and HASTUS-Rider planning solution from vendor GIRO.

By implementing GIRO's HASTUS solution, Sorta was able to design and implement major service improvements for its Reinventing Metro project. The results were significant: the planning time for a single route was reduced from a week to just one or two hours. The improvements led to a 15% increase in revenue hours using existing resources, a 20% improvement in travel efficiency, and provided network access to 45,000 more transit-dependent persons.
