AMT Genoa starts trial of Congestion Monitoring System on buses

The riders can see live and up to date information on congestion across the network and crowding levels on individual buses. Further, AMT can constantly monitor the crowding level and location of vehicles and reconfigure their services accordingly to more accurately anticipate passenger demand.
The new system will operate on 11 buses on Line 3 of the network, a route of 49 stops. The trial, which will run until March 2022. It will initially focus on the implementation of the web platform and analysis of the first pieces of data, before being rolled out for use on passenger services.
