Optimize Your Transit Operations with Smarter Timetable Planning
Demand-based scheduling allows you to optimize the start/end times, frequencies, and timetables of your public transport lines. Cermoni helps you create schedules that align with both passenger demand and your operational constraints.

How Does Demand-Based Planning Work?
Not every public transport line is the same. Passenger demand changes by time of day, day of the week, or even weather conditions. Cermoni analyzes these variables to help you create tailored plans for each service level.
Demand-Based Timetable Planning:
By using real passenger data (smart card validations, passenger counts, etc.), trips with low occupancy rates can be reduced and capacity can be increased during peak hours. This ensures that there are no unnecessary or missing services.
Load-Based Planning:
Increased frequency during morning and evening peaks, and reduced service during midday or nighttime hours prevents unnecessary resource use—leading to energy and staff savings.
Scenario-Based Planning:
Different scenarios can be modeled for special circumstances such as school holidays, public events, or seasonal periods. Operators can quickly implement “pre-tested” plans based on these scenarios.
Efficiency and cost savings—together!
Which scenario delivers the same service with fewer vehicles?
Each plan determines how many vehicles will operate and for how long. A more efficient plan means fewer vehicles.
Which planning approach offers maximum coverage with less fuel?
Frequency of trips, route lengths, and amount of dead kilometers directly affect fuel consumption.
How does the cost per passenger vary across scenarios?
Calculated based on the number of passengers and total kilometers operated. The more accurate the plan, the lower the cost.
Which plan minimizes the number of empty seats?
Running more frequent services during peak hours and fewer during off-peak hours balances occupancy rates.
When planning operations efficiently and economically, you may be considering many variables or asking yourself too many questions. With Cermoni, you can explore these questions through different planning scenarios and make data-driven decisions:
Still Creating Your Timetables Manually?
Here’s the truth:
-
Passenger demand is no longer fixed.
-
Energy costs are continuously rising.
-
Electric vehicles are becoming part of the fleet.
In this new era, old methods may get you through the day—
but they won’t deliver sustainable or efficient solutions.
Cermoni goes beyond static planning, offering data-driven and flexible timetable planning that adapts to ever-changing conditions.
Planning with Excel sheets or physical notebooks may work up to a point. But today’s public transport needs are far more dynamic.
Manual methods may have brought you this far but Cermoni is the one take you into the future.
