Equans, in collaboration with Optibus, has been selected by the Greater Portland Transit District (GPTD), in Portland, Maine, for the deployment of a new CAD/AVL system, Automatic Passenger Counting (APC), scheduling and Timekeeping system replacement. This partnership will provide a major upgrade for Greater Portland Metro, which is the largest public transit system in Maine.
“We are excited to provide Portland with powerful new optimization tools that will transform Greater Portland’s public transportation network. The collaboration between Optibus, Equans, and Greater Portland Metro means that more sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective services are a click away,” says Optibus CEO and co-founder Amos Haggiag.
“Greater Portland Metro is excited to partner with Equans and Optibus as our ITS CAD/AVL, scheduling, and timekeeping partners”, concludes Glenn Fenton, Executive Director at Greater Portland Transit District. “The state-of-the-art equipment and software provided through this award will help Metro bring the next generation of transit technology to the Greater Portland region, allowing Metro to inform passengers about detours, schedule changes, and alerts more quickly and easily. All aspects of our agency stand to benefit from these technology upgrades, and we are eager to get started.”
