open source — tpt solutions
TPT Transport
A comprehensive open-source public transportation platform designed for cities, municipalities, and transport authorities. Not a ride-sharing app — a complete solution for managing scheduled public transport, real-time transit information, and passenger services at city scale.
What is TPT Transport?
TPT Transport is an open-source platform built specifically for public transportation operators — not ride-sharing. It gives cities and transport authorities the tools to manage bus, train, tram, and ferry networks in one unified system, with real-time passenger information, GPS fleet tracking, integrated fare management, and AI-powered route optimisation.
The platform ships with three Progressive Web Apps: a passenger-facing transit app, a driver interface, and a comprehensive admin dashboard. All three work offline, push live notifications, and install as native apps on any device.
Key Features
Real-Time Transit
Live bus and train locations, arrival predictions, delay notifications, and service disruption alerts pushed to passengers instantly.
