The Optibus support team is always available to clarify and support the creation and modification of preferences, adapting the scenarios created to the customer's needs. > > **Cons**: Regarding small operational changes, the algorithm used is limited. Scenarios with large changes always yield good results, but small changes do not. > > The platform is easy to use, with a quick learning curve. However, the added value of using the platform depends more on the flexibility and creativity in changing how it operates than on the platform itself. The more flexible it is, the more profitable the platform can be. ----- ### "View based on daily experience with the Optibus platform" — 3.0/5 > **Jefferson** | *11 September 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Optimize scheduling. Allow improvement of driver and conductor shifts. Enhancement of current schedules. > > **Cons**: Platform complexity. We would like something more practical. The creation of schedules becomes more time-consuming in Optibus. > > great platform to optimize already made scheduling scenarios, but the part of creating schedules from scratch could be more practical. ----- ### "Zeitgemäße, intuitive und ganzheitliche Verkehrsplanung mit Optibus" — 5.0/5 > **Wolfgang** | *23 December 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Wir haben 2023 damit begonnen unseren wasserseitigen ÖPNV-Verkehr im hvv mit Optibus zu organisieren und die veraltete und unflexible Excel-Planung abzulösen. Uns ist es mit wenig Vorwissen in der Belegschaft und tatkräftiger Unterstützung durch die Optibus Mitarbeiter gelungen, unsere Vor- und Einsatzplanung auf einer zeitgemäßen und moderne Plattform aufzubauen. Die nativ cloudbasierte Anwendung stellt unsere Basis für zukünftige Weiterentwicklung im Bereich der Mitarbeiter-Koordination und Fahrgastinformation. Mittlerweile bietet Optibus eine ganzheitliche Lösung von der Fahrplanung bis zur Generierung der Echtzeitdaten für Auskunftssysteme, was uns gut in die Zukunft blicken lässt. > > **Cons**: Nach langer Marktrecherche zwischen 2021 bis 2022 sind uns wenig Nachteile aufgefallen. Einzig die vollumfängliche Anpassung an den Deutschen Markt (VDV-Schnittstellen) war eine Voraussetzung für uns, die Optibus als damals neuer Player am Markt angehen musste. Zum Projektstart in 2023 konnten wir uns aber davon überzeugen, dass Optibus seine Hausaufgaben gemacht hat und die vollständige Integration in die Datendrehscheiben des hvv (Hamburger Verkehrsverbund) ist gelungen. > > Mit wenig Vorerfahrung in standardisierter ÖPNV-Planungssoftware hat uns der begleitende Prozess bei der Einführung und Konfiguration der Optibus Systeme auf unserer Unternehmen sehr begeistert. Bis heute hat der Kundennahe Support nicht nachgelassen und es kommen ständig neue Funktionen dazu, der große Vorteil bei einer nativen cloudbasierten SaaS Software. Das macht das Produkt fortlaufend besser ohne große Patches oder Integrations-Projekte. Im Bereich Funktionalität, Usability und Oberflächendesign begeistern uns die Anwendung nach wie vor jeden Tag aufs neue. ----- ### "Avaliação Optibus - VISATE" — 5.0/5 > **Leonardo** | *4 September 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: A plataforma Optibus possibilita que o planejamento e organização do serviço sejam realizados de uma forma muito mais prática e visual, diminuindo significativamente as chances de ocorrerem erros operacionais e otimizando o tempo da equipe. > > **Cons**: Por mais que a plataforma seja excelente em otimizar as tabelas dos motoristas e a frota operacional, separadamente, ainda não há uma forma de trabalharmos com as duas otimizações em conjunto, elencando uma definição de uma parte, que influencie a otimizadão da outra. > > Aqui na VISATE utilizamos a Optibus diariamente para todas as alterações do serviço ofertado e para a grande maioria dos estudos realizados, com o objetivo de otimizar ainda mais a operação do sistema. ----- ### "A Optibus está evoluindo" — 4.0/5 > **Djalmo** | *3 September 2025* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: O que mais gosto na Optibus é o módulo de programação, pois é mais fácil de pré visualizar o que acontecerá com a frota e é possível também ver se tem erros no cadastro. > > **Cons**: Mesmo utilizando algum tempo a plataforma, ainda sinto a necessidade de contatar a Optibus para cadastrar novas preferências para testes internos, isso não chega a ser um problema, pois o suporte é muito prestativo, principalmente com o \[conteúdo sensível escondido\], mas creio que a plataforma poderia melhorar as traduções para deixar os planejadores menos dependentes. > > A experiência com a Optibus melhora a cada dia, principalmente devido ao suporte ofertado. Outros aspectos que poderia melhorar: no módulo programação na visualização das viagens, seria legal podermos mover as viagens pra ver como poderia se comportar. No módulo planejamento, poderia ter um template com o custo com base no cálculo tarifário do Brasil. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156197/optibus-onschedule?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156197/optibus-onschedule) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
