Case Studies

Why Transit Agencies rely on Transify

Answer Questions in Minutes not Hours

With over 250,000 boardings a day, Brampton Transit planning and scheduling staff are constantly investigating feedback from operators and customers.

Previously staff would spend 15-30+ minutes to determine whether a complaint warranted a schedule change. With Transify it now takes less than two minutes. 
See How It Works

Over 10 new trippers were added to address early-morning crowding in an efficient, cost-effective way.

“Transify’s induced demand for more scheduling refinements due to the ease of pulling actual run time data. This leads to better run times matching actual conditions by hour to the benefit of the transit customer.”

New Schedules in Half the Time

In a matter of minutes, Transify Runtime Charts give schedulers deep insights into travel time segment variability that are uniquely actionable and easy-to-understand.

Barrie Transit saw route OTP increase by up to 25%. Brampton Transit addressed runtime-deficient trips cost-effectively by adjusting runtimes to reflect real-world conditions.

Optimize your Network

Barrie Transit’s network redesign backed by Transify’s Ridership Maps resulted in a 14% ridership increase.

And we’ve partnered with transit consultants to support even more network redesigns with compelling visuals that tell the story of how customers travel and where there are gaps and opportunities in service.

From network redesigns to five-year business plans, we’ve worked with the transit agencies below across the US and Canada through our partnerships with Left Turn Right Turn, Bolton & Menk, and our transit data consulting service.

How Barrie Transit Uses Transify

One of the fastest growing cities in Canada, the City of Barrie, Ontario has launched Phase One of their Transit Vision Network, resulting in a 14% increase in ridership to over 14,000 daily weekday boardings.

Following the launch, Barrie Transit staff refined the runtimes of all their new routes within just a few weeks, additionally adjusting on-demand stops in response to feedback and ridership patterns.

How Metrolinx uses Transify

With over 250,000 weekday boardings a day, Brampton Transit has the 14th busiest bus network in the US and Canada - more than Miami and Houston.

Combined with ridership reaching 130% of pre-pandemic levels and rising traffic congestion, the need to quickly adjust service is more crucial than ever. Determining whether delays warrant a schedule change used to take 15-30 minutes - it now takes less than two minutes.

How Metrolinx uses Transify

Niagara Region Transit is developing its first 5-Year Business Plan, for which Left Turn Right Turn has partnered with Transify to support.

Unlike other vendors, Transify provides fixed-fees for custom integrations, and all custom integrations and data cleaning for data supported in Transify are included in all Transify subscriptions.

Where is Transify based?

Based in Toronto, Transify is a remote-first company with staff based in Vancouver, BC, Waterloo, ON, and Toronto, ON. Transify was founded by Eddy Ionescu - formerly a software developer at Yelp and RideCo and transit planner at the Toronto Transit Commission.

Eddy founded Transify after seeing how much potential the data transit agencies already collect has to improve transit, with the vision to provide an out-of-the-box data platform that transit agencies can start using right away.
