Challenges

The challenges of managing public transport

Lack of data

plus-icon

Without clear insight into how services are used, it’s difficult to optimise routes, capacity, or investment.

Inefficiency and high costs

plus-icon

Fixed routes and underused services can lead to wasted capacity and unnecessary costs.

Access to transport

Gaps in coverage make it harder for people to reach key destinations.

What public transport authorities achieve with Liftango

Governments and agencies use Liftango to increase utilisation, grow services without adding overhead, and move away from manual booking and dispatch.

The previous telephone-based booking system served its purpose, but it was restrictive in terms of the data we could gather and limited our ability to fully understand passenger needs.

By moving to a booking app, we’ve been able to modernise the service, improve the efficiency of scheduling, and make the journey experience smoother for residents.

The system not only gives us valuable insights to plan better, but also ensures that people in more remote areas feel better connected and more confident in the reliability of public transport.
