Trapeze Group has announced the launch of a collaborative special interest group, joined by 10 scheduling experts form five major UK bus operators, who amass 300 years of schedule expertise between them.
The group, chaired by Trapeze Scheduling Solutions Manager Gavin John, has been regularly meeting in order to collaborate on the design and specification of Trapeze’s upcoming scheduling solution Novus-Scheduleplus.
Commenting at the group’s second meeting, Mr John said: “Efficient scheduling cannot be undertaken by a computer alone. As a group we are committed to developing a technology solution which actively supports bus schedulers, helping them to do their essential work as effectively as possible.
“We are also invested in developing a technology solution which ensures a strong future for the schedulers of tomorrow.”
