Improving public transportation together: A collaboration with the Madrid Regional Transport Consortium. Last week, Optibus presented a collaborative study focused on improving public transportation with the Madrid Regional Transport Consortium (CRTM). The study aims to evaluate changes to lines for emerging neighborhoods, analyzing their impact on operating costs, in particular the need for additional buses, and the population served by these line extensions. This collaboration aims to optimize public transportation and provide more efficient service to our communities. We extend our gratitude to the Consorcio de Transportes de Madrid for their willingness to collaborate and their commitment to improving public transportation. Let's continue to make public transportation better - together! #PublicTransportation #TransportationOptimization #BusRoutes #CommunityImpact.
