We also built tools to analyse the data and learned a lot about how people are moving around. But we found the data needed fixing, so we built tools to do so. In other words, they are integrated with the existing infrastructure of the city.Īnd yes, we make our data open and available to other apps.įirst we built an app to help you get around town, using open data. They are multimodal ready, i.e., combine with other transit routes when it makes sense. Our routes show up in A to B routing whenever the algorithm decides so based on their viability and frequency. We show predicted arrival times on bus stop departure boards.

You can watch the buses move around the map in realtime. Our bus route is just like any other route. Our buses integrate with our app, our routing, and the city Wearing green jackets, of course.Ī smarter bus empowers drivers to operate more effectively. There will be qualified, experienced human drivers. In the future, we’ll explain in more detail how smarter bus tech leads to better mobility and cities. We’ve taken systems that haven’t traditionally talked to each other and integrated them. We’re reinventing how to think about all of these in the realtime world. We built software for everything, including realtime operational control to driver management to scheduling systems. It’s got tracking software for real time integration with the app, passenger counting, and a driver app. We kept the seats the same since we don’t have any new ideas there. We’ve added a smart display that tells you where you are and what’s coming next. We’ve tried to keep things simple, but well, everything is green. We’re also introducing a smaller, nimbler vehicle that we believe is necessary in crowded cities. However, in time you’re going to see us ‘rethink’ how buses and routes operate and how to make them more efficient and useful in cities. We started with an experimental popup route in London: CMX1 We believe smarter buses lead to better mobility and cities. In fact, we’re reinventing the entire software stack for running and operating a bus. We've unveiled our best kept secret: Project Grasshopper (previously known as Project Caterpillar, (previously known as Project “yo, we should buy a bus.
