A Smarter Way to Plan Public transport.

The OPTI-UP Toolkit is an interactive chatbot that helps cities identify the most relevant public transport optimisation models – based on validated pilot implementations across Europe.

Complex Transport Challenges
Require Structured Decisions.

Cities encounter increasing challenges with public transport, including declining ridership, financial limitations, climate goals, operational issues, and digital demands. Choosing an effective optimisation model is often complicated by the need for expertise and proven experience.

The OPTI-UP Toolkit simplifies this process by asking targeted questions about a city’s characteristics, then providing tailored recommendations based on successful pilots across Europe. Cities benefit from practical, clear guidance instead of facing complexity alone.

Know a City That Could Benefit?

The OPTI-UP Toolkit is designed for local and reginal authorities, public transport operators, urban mobility planners, and strategic policy departments seeking structured guidance for public transport optimisation.

If you work with municipalities, transport agencies, or mobility experts facing planning challenges, share this toolkit with them. It provides tailored recommendations, grounded in validated European pilot models, and offers a practical starting point for informed decision-making.

About OPTI-UP and Project Resources

OPTI-UP is a European initiative focused on developing, testing, and validating innovative models for public transport optimisation in Central European cities. Through pilot implementations in diverse urban contexts, the project generated transferable, evidence-based solutions addressing operational efficiency, financial sustainability, and climate objectives.

The OPTI-UP Toolkit translates these results into an interactive decision-support instrument. In addition, the project provides comprehensive documentation and methodological outputs to support further analysis and implementation.
