BRIDJ (pronounced "bridge") is a SaaS platform designed to support 'demand responsive' or 'on demand' public transport providers. The platform allows a user to optimise an on-road service and digitise work processes, and includes an optimisation engine, traveller app, driver app and client portal. The traveller app allows passengers to book, pay and track a service between two locations within a service area. The optimisation engine consumes pre-planned and real-time bookings and then allocates passengers to the available vehicles to create the optimal trips for the given service objectives. The optimisation engine is designed to handle large numbers of passengers and vehicles of both small capacities (1-6 pax) and high capacity (6-50+). BRIDJ technology is currently deployed on public transport services in both Sydney and Adelaide, Australia and for transfer services Singapore.
The platform was initially designed for shuttle services in its origin city of Boston and later also in Washington DC and Kansas City. BRIDJ was then acquired by Australian company Transit Systems and services started in Sydney in December 2017. In January 2020, Transit Systems was acquired by SeaLink Travel Group.[1] As a result, BRIDJ is now an independent, privately owned company.
Bridj is currently deployed in:
- Sydney, Victoria and Adelaide to support demand responsive public transport services;
- Singapore for employee transfer services; and
- In 2022, has been appointed as the Official Fleet Operations and Asset Management Technology Provider for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
