Case Study: MobiBrasil achieves faster, more efficient crew and vehicle scheduling with Optibus

Optimizing Crew and Vehicle Scheduling in Recife with MobiBrasil

MobiBrasil, a public transportation operator in Recife, Brazil, faced growing crew and vehicle scheduling challenges as it relied on manual processes, spreadsheets, and informal relationships to manage break times, overtime, and idle hours. As the company expanded, Ricardo Rios, MobiBrasil’s Planning Manager, turned to Optibus Planning and Scheduling to help handle increasingly complex scheduling needs.

With Optibus, MobiBrasil used cloud-based optimization, AI, and rapid scenario creation to move from line-by-line scheduling to faster, smarter blocking and runcutting across groups of lines. Optibus helped reduce scheduling time from almost a day per line to minutes, improved crew and vehicle efficiency, and lowered overtime, idle hours, and labor costs.
