Modernising Tasmania’s Transport System with INIT’s Expertise

In line with the Tasmania Government’s vision for modern, efficient, and sustainable public transport, Minister for Transport, Eric Abetz, announced that live tracking of bus and ferry services would be introduced state-wide from December 2024. This initiative, powered by Mattersoft’s advanced transport management technology, will allow passengers to access real-time updates on bus and ferry arrivals, delays, and service changes. This marks a significant step in improving public transport accessibility and convenience for Tasmanians.

Mattersoft’s innovative technology is built to enhance key functions, including:

Real-Time Passenger Information: Providing live updates on bus and ferry services, ensuring commuters stay informed about arrivals, disruptions, and route adjustments.
