Public transport timetable is a listing of the times that public transport services arrive and depart specified locations.
A public transport timetable is a document setting out information on service times, to assist passengers with planning a trip. Typically, the timetable will list the times when a service is scheduled to arrive at and depart from specified locations. It may show all movements at a particular location or all movements on a particular route or for a particular stop. Traditionally this information was provided in printed form, for example as a leaflet or poster. It is now also often available in a variety of electronic formats. Journey planners have to some extent replaced traditional timetable books in many places.
In many modern public transport systems, timetables and rostering are generated by computer, with the operators specifying the required operating span, minimum frequencies, route length/time and other such factors. Design of the schedule may aim to make times memorable for passengers, through the use of clock-face scheduling — services departing at regular intervals, at the same times every hour. This is less likely to apply at peak times, when the priority is optimum utilisation of available vehicles and staff.
Krogan Inventiv has the experience of generating these timetables, every time adapting the data lists, if necessary, wanting to
optimize the process, to offer a friendly accessible interface and also easy to follow by the journey planners and to make efficient the data modification process.
Timetables evolved according to the practical necessity that we’ve seen at our customers:
We present below the stages we’ve passed by until we’ve arrived today at the final one in which the process is transparent and automated on the highest level.
