Transforming Manchester's Bus System with Cutting-Edge Technology
When Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) approached us, the region's bus system was plagued by inefficiencies and passenger dissatisfaction. By leveraging the HOBA Agile Business Transformation Framework, we addressed these challenges head-on, implementing real-time bus tracking, mobile ticketing, and electric buses. This transformation not only streamlined operations but also significantly reduced carbon emissions, enhancing the overall sustainability of the transport system.
ESG Benefits and Community Impact
The project has had far-reaching ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) implications. By introducing electric buses and optimizing routes, we achieved unprecedented travel time savings and a substantial reduction in emissions. This sustainable approach has not only improved the passenger experience but also driven economic growth, attracting new businesses and residents to Greater Manchester.
