Conducted detailed assessment of the current operational performance:

• In depth understanding of revenues by LoB, and across industry operational metrics as Bus KM and Bus Hours

• Patronage trends with detailed analysis and classification of load factors across routes

• Mapping industry trends, growth rates, modal competition on key routes

Reviewed current fleet and trends including detailed analysis of:

• Historical growth in fleet and average annual fleet purchases by LoB

• Allocation of OTR bus fleet across LoB (by season)

• Pool of buses available for relocation (e.g idle buses, duration)

• Operational rules and its impact on allocation requirements for buses

• Age distribution & depreciation norms under different performance scenarios, and implications on fleet progression

• Fleet allocation on a route and service level as well as excess capacities

• Summarized key findings and issues; load factors on routes, bus productivity, rotation, availability

Developed high level strategic options (e.g. route viability assessment), identified implications on fleet size; developed 5-year passenger and ops forecasts:

• A combination of top-down-bottom-up approach that captured market, competition on route level and seasonality

• Recommendations for fleet optimization to improve ops performance; cancellation of non performing trips and routes
