🚀 A Landmark Achievement in Public Transportation Data! 🚀 We're excited to announce the official adoption of GTFS-Flex into GTFS! This milestone revolutionizes trip planning applications by enabling demand-responsive services. This reflects over eleven years of collaborative work among companies, nonprofits, public transportation agencies, and government agencies. At Optibus, our subsidiary Trillium has been part of this effort from the start, contributing to specification design, data creation, and spreading awareness about Flex's capabilities. ✨ Why This Matters: 🔹 Inclusivity: Microtransit services offer convenient options for all riders. 🔹 Collaboration: Highlights the power of teamwork across a multidisciplinary coalition. 🔹 Innovation: Strengthens the framework for modeling demand-responsive transit. Thank You to MobilityData for your stewardship and all partners for your collaboration. 🔗 Read the full story on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gxnRvYE8 #GTFSFlex #DemandResponsiveTransit #PublicTransportation #GTFS

Building an impact-driven company: Our people and our values In celebration of our tenth anniversary, the latest installment of our "Decade of Impact" blog series delves into our company culture and our decision to create a business that focuses not only on profit but also on people and the planet. 🌍 ✨ There are many problems in this world that need solving—better access to healthcare, infrastructure, homelessness, clean energy, and beyond. If we, as a society, decided to better allocate our money, time, expertise, and efforts toward resolving these pressing challenges, we would be living in a much different reality. Part of Optibus' mission is to leverage all the resources at our disposal to create a positive impact on the world. This end goal, along with our values - determination, innovation, care, and impact - have shaped our culture and business approach since day one. Our mission and values are just as relevant today, ten years later. The main difference? We aren't just two people. We are 400 people strong, working towards our goal every day.
