Case Study: First Bus improves efficiency and services with Optibus

How First Bus uses technology to improve efficiency and services

First Bus, a major UK bus operator, needed a better way to plan driver duties and services more efficiently while improving outcomes for both staff and passengers. To address this, the company worked with Optibus and rolled out its transportation management software across all of its UK operating companies.

With Optibus, First Bus can now optimize driver duties across teams simultaneously, explore different terms and conditions, and make more data-driven scheduling decisions. The result has been more efficient duties, better driver-friendly schedules with only marginal cost impact, and smoother, faster planning for First Bus’s 4,000 vehicles and more than 1 million daily passengers.
