The extended offering will help deliver a more comprehensive Trapeze Enterprise system by leveraging the capabilities of the AUSTRICS Transit suite, an integrated scheduling solution providing network scheduling and design and operations optimisation.
In addition, Trapeze will continue to build upon AUSTRICS’ transit management services for large events.
