Increasing ridership is one of the main goals of virtually every public transit agency. And one of the keys to increasing ridership is the promise of accurate schedules. When riders know they can count on a bus to pick them up and drop them off on time, every time, they are more likely to remain loyal, increasing customer satisfaction and ridership. The transit signal priority or green light advantage provided by the Opticom™ GPS and Infrared Systems can give buses the advantage they need to stay on schedule. And for bus rapid transit, the Opticom GPS and Infrared Systems can turn any lane into an HOV lane, with minimal traffic disruption. In addition to these advantages, the system helps optimize bus route efficiency, freeing up resources and lowering operating costs while reducing environmental impact. Opticom GPS and Infrared Systems can help you:

• Improve on-time arrival and maximize route efficiency by giving busses a natural, non-disruptive green light advantage
• Reduce vehicle maintenance and improve vehicle utilization by minimizing the wear and tear of stop-and-go driving
• Lessen environmental impact and lower fuel costs by boosting fuel efficiency
• Enable automated operation by interfacing seamlessly with your AVL system
