Transit

Overview

Americans take more than ten billion trips a year on public transportation, from buses and streetcars to light rail, commuter trains, monorails, tramways, and high-speed rail. With fluctuations in gasoline prices that continue today, more people are turning to mass transit than ever before:  According to the American Public Transportation Association, the use of public transportation increased by 38 percent over the last ten years.
 

What does this mean for mass transit rail companies? On-time departure and arrival have never been more important. Mass transit operators need to know that trains are moving on schedule, and that every passenger can depend on the rail line’s safety—because one accident can shatter the public’s confidence for years to come.
