Scheduling
Efficient scheduling can make a huge impact on a bus company's bottom line. Smart Transport Solutions can audit your current schedules and rosters to determine if savings can be made by application of a more efficient solution. We can analyse patronage data so that your vehicles are deployed to match demand. Smart Transport Solutions believes in “memory timetables” to the maximum extent possible. In periods of peak vehicle utilisation the “memory timetables” may be slightly deviated from if a reduction of peak vehicles can be achieved. On corridors with multiple routes we spread services as evenly as possible to ensure the highest quality service to the public. Our scheduling solutions are very efficient yet we do not compromise operational reliability.

Route Planning & Network Planning
In many places in Australia public transport does not cater for people's travel requirements. We live in a busy and complex world. Smart Transport Solutions can carry out detailed assessments of travel patterns (by all modes) and patronage data to design routes and networks that cater, as best as possible, to contemporary travel patterns. Connections with other bus routes and other public transport modes are a prime concern when we design bus routes and networks. We ensure that routes and networks serve significant patronage generators such as shopping centres, hospitals and employment precincts.

We also carry out school bus reviews. As student numbers and location vary from year to year it is prudent to regularly review school travel demand to ensure resources are being efficiently utilised and student demand is adequately catered for.

Service Development
Smart Transport Solutions can assist Bus Operators in developing their services. We can lobby councils and other authorities for improved facilities such as interchanges, shelters, driver amenities, and location of bus stops. We can represent Bus Operators at meetings with government departments and other authorities. We can tailor a marketing strategy to suit your needs and budget.

Transport / Land Use Planning
Integrated Transport/ Land Use planning is essential to provide vibrant communities that can be efficiently serviced by public transport. Smart Transport Solutions can assist property developers and local government to appreciate the benefits of transport-friendly land use planning. Advice can be given on suburb design to facilitate good bus access to new subdivisions. We can also advise on pedestrian and cycling facilities that are conducive to public transport use. Smart property developers realise that frequent and direct public transport access can increase property values. We are happy to assist property developers to plan their developments to be friendly to sustainable transport modes whilst providing places that have a sense of community and good places to live and visit.
