Société des Transports Abidjanais (SOTRA) Case Study
Société des Transports Abidjanais (SOTRA) is the primary public transport operator serving Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. As one of West Africa’s largest urban transit networks, SOTRA manages transport services for more than one million daily passengers. This case study explores how Trapeze helped SOTRA modernise operations, integrate fleet management, and improve service delivery across multiple cities through a single intelligent transport management platform.
SOTRA runs West Africa’s largest urban bus network and needed to transform it without stopping it. Here’s how Abidjan unified five cities, two generations of fleet, and a million daily commuters under a single intelligent transport system from Trapeze.
- Seamless integration of 450 new Scania and 1,500 existing buses into one unified ITS platform
- Real-time passenger information, live fleet tracking and automated scheduling deployed across 5 cities
- The first integrated AVLC, Passenger Information and Automatic Passenger Counter installation on the African continent
- Full rollout completed with zero disruption to daily operations serving over 1 million passengers
