Galway-based transport data company CitySwift has today announced the rollout of its platform to all bus operators in London.
Founded in 2016, CitySwift works with public sector transport authorities and private bus operators to break down the barriers to accessing and interpreting transport data
London has one of the largest public transport networks in the world with nearly 9,000 buses serving about 1.8 billion passenger journeys a year.
It is operated by seven bus operators on 675 routes franchised by Transport for London (TfL).
Today's news follows a year of rapid growth for CitySwift in 2024 - it secured €7m in funding and announced renewed and new partnerships with Transport for Wales, National Express, Transport for Greater Manchester, Go-Ahead Group, and more.
"Our work with both authorities and operators in multiple regions since 2016 has consistently delivered tangible results in improved reliability, efficiency, and passenger and driver satisfaction," CEO and co-founder Brian O'Rourke said today.
"We are thrilled to bring these advantages to all operators, drivers and passengers in the London bus network, contributing to TfL's vision of providing the most efficient and reliable transport network," he added.
Brian O'Rourke joined Taoiseach Michaél Martin and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for a business roundtable today in London.
