NextBus

NextBus is a product offered by Cubic, a multi-national company with a software suite targeted to transit operators. NextBus provides real-time information service for many transit agencies in the United States. While another data source such as an AVL system must provide real-time data information, NextBus uses GTFS data to import basic information about the transit agency’s routes, stops, and schedules. NextBus offers a full-service solution, from GPS installation on vehicles, to communications with users via a desktop and mobile web site. NextBus is the market leader, with more than a dozen transit agencies as customers. More information about their products is available from the company.
