Delivering RTPI for Everyone
Read Our BlogReal Time Passenger Information for modern bus operators
ebblo Traveller from Trapeze is a modular Real Time Passenger Information that helps bus operators run reliable services by combining real-time fleet monitoring, dispatch and driver communication with consistent passenger information across web, mobile, and on street channels. It enables bus operators to move from simply tracking buses to actively managing services, improving punctuality, transparency, and passenger trust.
Industry Challenge
For bus operators, this shift brings both pressure and opportunity. Many fleets are expanding, routes are being rationalised, and new vehicles — including electric buses — are entering service. At the same time, operators are expected to demonstrate control over daily operations, provide evidence of service delivery, and maintain passenger trust in a congested and unpredictable operating environment.
The Trapeze Traveller RTPI Solution
ebblo Traveller from Trapeze is a comprehensive dispatch system for managing and monitoring your bus fleet
as well as being a passenger information system, that offers high-quality dynamic passenger information.
Thanks to its scalable architecture, the Traveller system operates effectively in both small cities and metropolises.
In the area of dynamic passenger information, Traveller offers high-quality estimates calculated
based on schedules and information received from vehicles.
Using advanced predictive algorithms Traveller generates predictions for real departure times, which it
can distribute through all regular passenger information channels.
Regardless of the selected distribution channel (stop displays, websites, mobile devices, SMS),
passengers always see the same, real-time information. They can also adapt the information to their needs and requirements.

Customer Quotes
Zielonogórski residents have been using real-time bus stop information since 2006. In recent years, the system has expanded to 80 displays at 74 stops. If there's no display at a stop, you can scan the QR code (they're available at all stops) and check departures on your phone. Additionally, you can view a bus's location on a map and use the route search engine.
