Using “Optibus Shuttles”, Roma Transportes will pioneer the use of AI and optimization algorithms for corporate shuttles transporting 4,000 daily passengers across Rio Grande do Sul state

Roma Transportes, a provider of logistical solutions for shuttle operations, has chosen Optibus as the transportation planning software for its services across the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The decision will see Roma Transportes roll out “Optibus Shuttles”, an AI-powered dynamic route planning solution, to optimize regional corporate shuttle offerings. 


With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Roma Transportes is a key provider of employee and corporate shuttles for companies across Rio Grande do Sul. Their team has more than 114 employees and transports nearly 4,000 passengers each day across various cities in Brazil’s southern region. 

To strengthen its market presence while expanding to other regions of Brazil, Roma Transportes identified Optibus Shuttles as a technological solution for driving its business growth. 

Optibus Shuttles brings dynamic, automated planning and optimization features to the shuttle sector. 

Powered by Moovex, Optibus Shuttles is a dynamic route planning solution that unlocks more efficient, sustainable, and automated transportation operations. Users start by uploading passenger lists and assigning drivers to routes. From there, the software automatically generates and optimizes routes to reduce mileage and ensure the best allocation of vehicles and drivers. Additionally, the platform allows real-time change management, quickly adapting services to last-minute adjustments, resulting in a more reliable and responsive service.

With Optibus Shuttles, companies can enhance their financial sustainability and accurately forecast operational costs for more efficient service planning. In minutes, the tool creates optimized schedules tailored to passenger needs while managing diverse vehicle types (buses, vans, mini-buses), reducing vehicle mileage, and automating pick-up and drop-off points.

Optibus Shuttles, powered by Moovex, automates driver assignments and enables custom route settings.

The partnership with Optibus will allow us to elevate the quality of our operations, ensuring that we remain a reference in the sector," said Thiago Freitas, Operations Director of Roma Transportes.
