Bus Rapid Transit (#BRT) is an efficient and cost-effective public transportation option, offering up to 80% of the capacity of light rail at just 20% of the cost. Utilizing articulated buses on dedicated lanes, BRT systems provide faster, safer, and more reliable travel. Brazil, a leader in BRT implementation, has made these systems essential in large cities, serving millions of passengers daily. At Optibus, we’re proud to support some of Brazil’s most innovative BRT systems, optimizing operations for greater efficiency. We are pleased to share our latest video testimonial, "Faster Scheduling at BRT Sorocaba through Automation." The city of Sorocaba has transformed its public transportation with BRT. Renato (Cabeça) Andere Martins, President of BRT Sorocaba, and Murilo Campiotto Almeida, who oversees driver scheduling, explain how Optibus has streamlined their scheduling processes and improved efficiency. “Advice I would give to those who don’t have an automated tool: Run to get one,” Renato Andere explains in the video. “It is impossible for someone to manage all the complexities when building so many schedules!” Murilo Campiotto adds that Optibus “brings us practicality and agility when it comes to generating duties at scale and scheduling all of BRT Sorocaba."
