Our take
Public transport is cheaper, greener and more available to the general public than most private transport alternatives. Yet it suffers from major defects. It is often criticised for being unreliable and of poor quality, leading users to look elsewhere, often towards solutions which clog cities' transport systems even more.
This is a problem which Optibus wants to solve. It supplies a platform that brings much-needed innovation to public transport, leveraging a robust combination of artificial intelligence, advanced optimization algorithms and distributed cloud computing to make public transit smarter, better and more efficient.
Since its founding in 2014, the company has seen rapid uptake. It has been selected by the leading transit providers in more than 1000 cities around the world. It has also reached unicorn status and, with numerous offices across the globe, boasts a truly global outreach, which positions it for a fruitful future.
