Case Study: Keolis achieves rapid, flexible scheduling and same-day run cuts with Optibus

Quick Scheduling Decisions at Keolis North America

Keolis North America, led in this case by CJ Bright, faced slow, manual scheduling: creating run cuts by hand took weeks and pulled planners away from business development. To solve this, Keolis adopted the Optibus platform to automate and optimize scheduling and roster creation.

Optibus enabled rapid re-optimizations (often in minutes), flexible scenario testing, and end-to-end run cuts and rosters in a day, allowing Keolis to respond instantly to union negotiations and tune preferences for efficiency. The result was a dramatic reduction in scheduling time (from weeks to minutes or a single day), improved productivity and client outcomes, and ongoing product improvements driven by Optibus’s responsive support.
