It operates an integrated portfolio of municipal services for the city of Olbia and surrounding tourist destinations, with the operational core being an urban public-bus network of 12 regular lines plus two special lines, supplemented by school transport, free disability transport, bike sharing via Bicincittà integration, and tourist shuttle services.

ASPO is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001:2015 by Certiquality.

ASPO’s business model is a hybrid of usage-based fees (bus fares, parking hourly/daily rates), subscription-based passes (monthly/annual bus and parking subscriptions), managed-services fees from the Comune di Olbia for tax collection and ancillary municipal services (urban hygiene, road signage, public green maintenance), advertising on bus exteriors and interiors, and admissions at the Necropoli San Simplicio archaeological site. Distribution runs through 60+ authorised physical resellers, the digital channels above, on-board sales, and walk-in service at the HQ and seasonal Infopoints. The company’s primary institutional customer is the Comune di Olbia, with end users being Olbia residents, students (with up to 80% ISEE-based discounts), disabled persons, and tourists.
