Benjamin Faulkner, Associate Director at Gresham House Ventures, said: “CitySwift’s growth in recent years has been impressive, and the team’s knowledge of both bus networks and data science makes this a compelling and unique proposition. With our experience working with other transport and mobility data businesses, we look forward to supporting CitySwift as it continues to deliver real-world benefits for transport passengers across the UK, Ireland and global markets over the coming years.”
A note from Brian O’Rourke, Co-founder and CEO at CitySwift: “Public transport services have to be reliable and efficient to drive passenger growth, and key to this is leveraging quality data to ensure the transport networks of the future meet ever-changing passenger needs. Quality, reliable data is exactly what we deliver - our platform tracks transport networks in all of the major UK cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Belfast, and the entire country of Wales. CitySwift has recently delivered up to 14% punctuality improvements for National Express, East Yorkshire Buses, and Blackpool Transport. Oxfordshire County Council have been using the platform to track the impact of congestion easing measures across journey times, speeds, and passenger delays, while Transport for Wales are tracking performance and demand across the entire Welsh bus network. This investment is a massive vote of confidence in CitySwift’s platform and people. It will help us to nurture and grow our partnerships with authorities and operators, supporting them to build data-driven, widely used, and resilient transport networks of the future.”
