Introducing CitySwift Spotlight: The intelligent, personalised recommendation engine for high performing bus networks

Your bus network is brimming with untapped potential, just waiting to be unleashed. There are hidden opportunities to save resources, hit reliability targets, or make savvy investments. But how do you know where to start? 

In the abundance of data collected by the network, valuable insights often get lost in the shuffle. Information is scattered across data silos, different teams, and various systems. As a result, changes are frequently made on a route-by-route basis, missing out on the big picture view of the entire network. 

Today, we’re excited to introduce CitySwift Spotlight, developed with our innovation partner National Express West Midlands. This product update propels CitySwift to new heights in personalised performance optimisation and predictive analytics.

“Our collaboration with CitySwift to deliver Spotlight for the benefit of bus users across the West Midlands, and in major cities across the UK, is a groundbreaking achievement for the National Express West Midlands and CitySwift teams.”

- Ed Rickard, Network Director at National Express
