HASTUS is a configurable software suite for bus, metro, tram and passenger rail operations. Its modules cover planning, scheduling, operations, on-demand transport, customer information and integrations, with algorithms that can account for each operator’s business rules. Planning tools support network redesign and analysis of crowding, coverage, accessibility, ridership and equity. Scheduling tools create vehicle, rolling-stock and crew schedules; rail functions also cover track access, onboard crews and station staff. HASTUS-OnDemand supports automated scheduling, continuous resource optimization, multimodal trips and management of multiple providers. HASTUS Connect exchanges data with AVL, APC, ticketing and other systems, and is included with every installation at no extra charge. GTFS schedule imports can create connections with trains or other agencies’ bus routes. Historical operating data can be used for KPI reports and dashboards. SelfBooking+ is available for iOS and Android, while SelfBooking Web lets customers and booking agents manage occasional or recurring trips. Pricing is available on request.
