NextBus Inc. is the pioneer and global leader in providing Real-Time Passenger Information Services, with more than 135 current installations in municipalities, universities, airports, hospitals, and corporations. We provide real-time passenger information solutions to organizations of all types and sizes -- our smallest customer operates 2 buses and our largest customer has over 3,500 buses.
NextBus utilizes AVL/GPS technology to track vehicles and provide real-time arrival information through the internet, electronic signs, SMS text, and telephone. What makes us unique is our proprietary algorithm that takes into account historical travel data, including day of the week and time of day. This patented technology generates accurate, up-to-the-minute arrival information transit riders can depend upon.
A robust set of transit management tools and reports come as part of the NextBus system. Transit managers can monitor vehicle performance on our live map or use the replay feature to watch previous runs that have taken place in the past. NextBus reports include schedule adherence, headway, boarding/alighting, and job/block reports.
Our hardware offerings are extensive, and include GPS-based AVL systems, automatic passenger counters, automated next stop announcements (NextStop), mobile data terminals, LED and LCD signage, and driver silent alarms. The NextBus system can also integrate with existing AVL hardware and numerous software products made by other vendors.
