Automatic Passenger Counting (APC)

Automated Passenger Counting is an advanced system, allowing customers to easily record all boardings, without significant involvement from the vehicle operator. We partnered with Hella to allow for fully automated passenger counting connected to our MDT which can be used to track passenger type and vehicle service stop and end times.
