Transport for Wales is to use A1 technology to improve the experience for bus passengers in Wales.

TfW has partnered with mobility intelligence company Cityswift for the scheme.

It will use the information gathered to revamp bus services to make them more punctual and reliable with faster journey times in the hope of persuading more passengers to get onboard.

Andrew Sherrington, head of bus network and service development at TfW said: “CitySwift has given TfW a better holistic understanding of how the network moves. For the first time, we can access detailed punctuality, reliability, and efficiency insights across Wales’ five major bus operators.

“This new intelligence will enable us to work with operators to make the bus a more attractive service for the people of Wales.”

Speaking about the continued success of the partnership, CitySwift’s head of growth, John Aloy said: “CitySwift is thrilled to support Transport for Wales on its mission to deliver safe, sustainable transport options to the people of Wales.

“Using CitySwift’s mobility intelligence to access performance insights, demand data, and revised schedules, the team at Transport for Wales can deliver a more attractive, reliable, and convenient bus service for the people of Wales.”
