Case Study: Kayseri Transportation achieves improved passenger comfort and cost savings with V-Count's real-time occupancy analytics

Kayseri Transportation - Customer Case Study

Kayseri Transportation (Kayseri Ulaşım A.Ş.), the municipal transit operator in Kayseri, Turkey, needed accurate passenger data to boost rider comfort and satisfaction while cutting costs. To identify overcrowded routes, optimize bus numbers and shifts for different seasons and events, and reduce fuel use and emissions, they partnered with V-Count and deployed V-Count Ultima AI sensors and the V-Count reporting interface across their 12- and 18‑meter bus fleets.

V-Count’s solution delivers real-time and historical boarding/alighting counts, station- and route-based occupancy rates, and a dashboard for planning teams. Using V-Count data, Kayseri Transportation has been able to reassign vehicles, eliminate underutilized buses, better schedule shifts, share audience metrics with advertisers, and therefore reduce fuel consumption and emissions, improve passenger comfort and capacity, and increase operational efficiency and revenue potential.
