Network-Wide Solutions for Ferry & Multimodal Operations
Cities with coastal and river networks benefit from integrating ferries into their public transport systems - giving passengers the convenience of transport routes that link land and water through regular, reliable ferry services. Ferries help reduce congestion for land transport modes and can also connect with other transport services, including bus, train, taxi, rideshare and e-mobility solutions.
Operators and transport authorities need to manage ferry services as part of an integrated, multimodal network - which means integrated technology solutions are required across all forms of transport. The advent of multimodal transport networks effectively means the same software solutions can be used for all land and water-based transport modes.
Trapeze’s purpose-built public transport technology offers local support and is backed by proven global industry experience across multimodal transport - giving your ferry operation the ability to respond to events, adapt, and succeed.
Simon Reed, Head of Technology and Data at Transport for London, explains how highly accurate passenger information is key to everything TfL does.
Flexible, Open Platform with Local Support
Ferries are different from other modes of public transport, with unique operating conditions including berthing, tides, non-linear travel, significant weather variability and ticket management. The Trapeze technology suite provides enterprise software for ferry and multimodal transport management. This includes planning and scheduling, enterprise resource planning, and Intelligent Transport Systems – delivering increased efficiencies and improving ferry commuter convenience.
