How Blixar works across fleets and regions.

• ~120 buses
• ~60 service vans

Challenge

Buses and service vans tracked in separate systems, with no shared view of idling, driving behaviour or depot activity.

Approach

• Trackers fitted or existing devices connected (50+ brands)
• One live map, geofenced depots and yards
• Driver scoring, idle time and fuel per km reports

One view of every vehicle, and measured running times fed back into the next schedule.

• ~250 buses
• ~40 routes

Challenge

Routes added over decades now duplicate each other on the busiest corridors, while outer districts are under-served.

Approach

• Directional overlap measured on every corridor
• Merge, shorten and divert proposals, each with its cost line
• Revised stop sequences exported for operations

Target: 9–39% fewer route-km on studied corridors, with 99%+ of riders kept.

• ~90 buses
• 2 depots

Challenge

An electric fleet order is due, but bus numbers, charger counts and grid capacity are based on rules of thumb.

Approach

• Diesel baseline checked against the timetable lower bound
• Same timetable solved electric, with chargers and depots
• Evening charging peak per depot for the grid application

Target: a fleet sized to the timetable instead of a 10–20% safety margin.

• Feeder buses
• On-demand vans

Challenge

New housing sits outside a reasonable walk of any route, and fixed routes there run nearly empty.

Approach

• Walking catchments mapped by district
• Homes and people beyond 500 m of service counted
• Feeder and on-demand candidates scored

A costed plan to connect every district to the trunk network.

• Coaches
• Shuttle vans

Challenge

Duties cut by hand, overtime rising, and rosters drivers see as unfair.

Approach

• Legal duties matched across vehicles
• Monthly hours levelled, rest days kept
• Ranked cover for every absence

Target: around 6% fewer duties for the same driving, and fairer months.
