ELECTRONIC SYSTEM TO ASSIST THE MANAGEMENT OF BUS OPERATIONS

A public bus network is assigned two objectives: assure a good cover of the urban spread and offer sufficiently high quality service to capture permanently an important number of travelers. These two objectives can only be attained at the expense of a fundamental change in the methods and techniques of public transport. It is in this perspective that efforts are currently directed to development of electronic assistance in the management of bus networks. This development is a natural complement of other recent developments in public information, in material comfort, in commercial techniques, in network restructuring and in productivity.
