Case Study: Dr. Richard streamlines bus planning and scheduling with Optibus

How user-friendliness and powerful algorithms made onboarding easy for Austrian PTO Dr. Richard

Dr. Richard Linien, Austria’s largest private owner-operated bus company, needed a better way to handle increasingly complex planning and scheduling work. After finding previous planning tools unsatisfactory and relying on spreadsheets, the company looked to Optibus’ planning and scheduling software to support its planners, improve user-friendliness, and help meet rising demands in tender preparation and operations.

Optibus implemented its cloud-native planning and scheduling platform, including vehicle scheduling and duty scheduling, with intuitive visualizations and an algorithm-driven workflow. The result was a smooth onboarding process, strong collaboration between teams, and early planning successes through new and optimized plans; Dr. Richard also expects to save time in timetable, vehicle, and duty scheduling and reinvest that time into new responsibilities.
