Case Study: Dr. Richard cuts bus network update time by 75% with Optibus Billboards

How Dr. Richard Cut Network Update Time by 75% with Optibus Billboards

Dr. Richard Linien, Austria’s largest private owner-operated bus company, needed a better way to create and update passenger service billboards in Villach. Their legacy, manual process was slow, error-prone, and required juggling two systems, making it difficult to keep timetable and route information accurate and up to date. Dr. Richard used Optibus Planning and Scheduling and added Optibus Passenger Billboards to improve the workflow.

With Optibus Billboards, Dr. Richard automated timetable updates and billboard design directly from its existing platform, using a uniform template for route information, travel times, and QR codes. Optibus helped cut route network update time by 75%, reduced full network overhaul updates to about 1–2 hours, enabled timetable and billboard changes to be completed in less than a day, and reduced billboard printing to just 5–10 minutes.
