What Mobilibus does

Mobilibus offers solutions for a more connected public transport. According to figures from the National Urban Transport Association, NTU, one of the obstacles to the substitution of public transport for individual transportation is the lack of adequate information for the user - as an example, a passenger waiting at a bus stop without having the information of when your transportation will pass will have your perception of waiting increased by up to seven times. With the popularization of smartphones and their applications, access to instant information has become a constant - and this reality is no different for the public transport segment. The improvement of the pioneering Google Maps, the explosion of cities served by Moovit - a lot of that as a result of making the Mobilibus tool available to its voluntary user communities - and the growth of Here in Brazil, after the acquisition by a group of car manufacturers, demonstrate that the search for information on public transport, rather than a complement, has become a necessity in the routine of cities. Public transportation companies that have Mobilibus solutions have their information updated in the databases of the main public transport route services - Google Maps, Here and Moovit - that use GTFS data to offer their users information and planning queries of scripts. In addition to the practicality of using editor information in report creation, they can also be integrated into the application, website and social networks of their own, with maps, schedules and time charts. There is also support for generation of QR codes (bar codes that, when read by the smartphone connected to the internet, leads to a query address of the information); and totems and monitors located in terminals and reference points, with start times being transmitted in real time, using low cost and high-performance technologies.

Direct peers

• Moovit: Moovit is a global transit data and mobility app platform serving riders in 3,500+ cities with real-time info and journey planning. Directly comparable to Mobilibus/Bus2.app and Bus2.info for end-user transit information, though Moovit is broader geographically and consumer-led rather than white-label.
• Transit (app): Transit is a multi-modal journey planning app operating across North America and Europe with real-time bus, rail, and micromobility data. Comparable to Bus2.app and Bus2.info in delivering real-time passenger information, though it focuses on consumer app distribution rather than operator white-labeling.
• Citymapper: Citymapper provides multi-modal urban transit apps and data for major global cities. Comparable to Mobilibus's passenger-facing information products in real-time journey planning, but operates in a different geographic footprint (Europe/US/Asia) rather than LatAm.
• Optibus: Optibus is an AI-driven public transit operations platform offering scheduling, planning, and operational optimization for bus operators. Directly comparable to Mobilibus's Bus2.services Operational Management and Business Intelligence tiers for transit operators, with a stronger global footprint and venture backing.

Broad incumbents

• Cubic Transportation Systems: Cubic is a large, established provider of fare collection, real-time passenger information, and traffic management systems for transit agencies globally. Comparable to Bus2 in serving public transport operators and managing bodies with integrated passenger information, but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Trapeze Group (Modaxo): Trapeze, now part of Modaxo, is an established transit technology vendor offering fixed-route planning, scheduling, real-time passenger information, and CAD/AVL systems. Directly comparable to Bus2.services across information and operational management for transit operators, but at enterprise scale globally.
• Via Transportation: Via is a transit-tech and on-demand mobility platform offering software for microtransit, paratransit, and shared rides operated by transit agencies. Comparable to Mobilibus in serving public mobility through a software platform, though focused on on-demand and shared mobility rather than fixed-route information.

Emerging players

• Padam Mobility: Padam Mobility is a SaaS platform for on-demand transit (DRT, paratransit, microtransit) sold to transit agencies and operators, primarily in Europe. Comparable in the B2B transit SaaS GTM to Mobilibus, though Padam focuses on demand-responsive transport rather than fixed-route information.

Others

• HERE Technologies: HERE is a leading location data and mapping platform providing transit, traffic, and mobility data layers used by operators, agencies, and app developers. Comparable to Mobilibus as an enabling data provider for transit information products, but as an infrastructure/data vendor rather than a direct end-user app operator.
• Aimsun: Aimsun provides transportation simulation and mobility modeling software used by transit agencies and city planners for operational planning and analysis. Comparable to Bus2.services in providing decision-support tooling for transit managers, but focused on simulation rather than real-time operations.
