Case Study: Via Ouro simplifies daily transit operations with Optibus

Optibus makes daily operations easier for Via Ouro managers

Via Ouro, an urban transportation operator in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil, faced the challenge of planning and scheduling bus operations manually while dealing with heavy traffic, congestion, and unpredictable daily service changes. The company turned to Optibus, a transportation management software platform, to help modernize its route planning, scheduling, and roster management.

With Optibus, Via Ouro was able to optimize fleet usage, reduce bus idleness, and reallocate vehicles more efficiently. The cloud-based, user-friendly platform and training support made daily operations easier for managers, and during the pandemic it helped the operator better align service supply and demand despite a 70% ridership drop across much of the public transportation sector.
