Transforming Bus Franchising in the UK: The Digital Journey with Optibus

Webinar announcement for October 29th, 2024 at 12 p.m. overlaid on a busy urban street scene with pedestrians, shops, and public transportation in what appears to be a UK city center.

Join Jon Usher, Partnerships Director for Northern Europe and Annie Krzeminska, Solutions Engineer, as they present a comprehensive guide to the digital franchising journey. This webinar will walk you through each stage of the digital transformation process—from planning and designing to operationalising and managing a franchised network using cutting-edge technology. They will demonstrate how the Optibus software can help to find a balance between network coverage and delivery costs. 

 

Drawing on real-world examples from the UK and Europe, this session will cover:

  • Developing strategic network plans that align with policy objectives and community needs.
  • Designing detailed, actionable plans that balance population served and delivery costs.
  • Implementing innovative digital tendering approaches to operationalise networks efficiently.
  • Managing, monitoring, and improving services with data analysis and performance insights.

 

Optibus is at the forefront of transforming public transportation with technology. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how we empower Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) to optimise their proposed networks to balance policy objectives with delivery costs.
