Fleet & Mobility
Know how many people are on every bus, on every trip.
Automated passenger counting for buses and coaches — boarding and alighting counts per stop, live occupancy, and trip records for route and revenue decisions.
Capabilities
Passenger numbers you can plan around.
What automated passenger counting gives operators running bus and coach services on scheduled routes or contracted transport.
Boarding and alighting counts
Sensors at the doors count passengers as they get on and off, building an accurate record for every trip without manual tallying.
Live occupancy visibility
See how full each bus is while it is on route — useful for dispatch decisions and for understanding real demand across the day.
Per-stop and per-route records
Review counts by stop, trip, and route to see where demand actually comes from instead of relying on driver estimates.
Revenue reconciliation support
Compare counted passengers against tickets sold or fares collected to spot gaps between ridership and revenue.
Fleet and schedule planning
Historical counts show which routes and time slots justify larger vehicles, extra trips, or revised schedules.
Overloading accountability
Trip records document how many passengers a vehicle carried, supporting safety policies and contractual obligations.
How It Works
From installation to counted trips in three steps.
-
01
Sensors installed at the doors
Passenger counting sensors are professionally fitted above the boarding and alighting points of each bus — no change to how passengers or drivers use the vehicle.
-
02
Every trip is counted automatically
As the bus runs its route, the sensors register each boarding and alighting and report the counts over the mobile network.
-
03
Your dashboard shows the numbers
Your team sees live occupancy and historical counts per trip, stop, and route in the dashboard, ready for planning and reconciliation.
Better Together
Pair passenger counts with Vetrol fuel controls.
Fuel transactions tell you what a bus cost to run. Passenger counts tell you what it carried. Together, they show the fuel cost per passenger on each route — a far sharper basis for deciding which routes and schedules are worth running than either number alone.
Because both services come from Vetrol, your team works with one provider for fuel payments and fleet technology, with data that can be reviewed side by side.
