Journey Planning

Smarter, multi-operator and multi-modal journey planning — delivered on web and mobile.

RiseDM provides a modern journey planning solution designed for public transport networks, regional partnerships, councils, and individual coach operators. Built to be fast, accurate and easy to use, our journey planner helps passengers make confident travel decisions while giving operators a powerful digital front door to their network.

Use Cases

Multi-Operator

Ideal for towns, cities and regional transport partnerships.

Our system supports:

Multiple operators within the same region
Unified timetables and routing
Interchange points and real-time updates
Regional maps and stop discovery
Consistent user experience across the network

Passengers see the whole transport picture — not just one operator’s routes — making planning simpler and boosting modal shift away from cars.

Multi-Modal

For areas with multiple transport modes, we combine data to provide seamless, door-to-door travel.

Supported modes include:

Bus
Coach
Rail
Tram/Metro
Walking segments

This gives passengers clear, end-to-end options with realistic journey times and interchange information.

Bespoke

A dedicated version for coach companies that want a clean, branded journey planner within their own ecosystem available online or within mobile apps.

Perfect for:

Intercity coach networks
Airport shuttle routes
Express services
School/college transport

Features include route lookup, next departures, stop discovery, fares display, and integration with our ticketing engine.

Real-Time Data Integration

Delivering accurate, real-time passenger information through seamless integration with SIRI VM (Vehicle Monitoring) for live vehicle tracking and continuously updated ETAs, alongside SIRI SM (Stop Movements) for delay and disruption messaging.

Advanced Journey Options

Flexible journey planning that delivers the fastest routes or those with the fewest changes, with search by departure or arrival time. Accessibility-friendly options and walking distance filters ensure journeys are practical and tailored to passenger needs.

Intuitive User Experience

A clean, mobile-first interface designed for ease of use on the move. Map-based route visualisation, flexible stop-to-stop or origin-to-destination search, and saved favourites make journey planning quick, familiar, and effortless.

Flexible Deployment Models

Designed to fit seamlessly into any transport ecosystem, the journey planner can be deployed within operator apps, as a standalone solution, or embedded into websites. API access also enables integration with councils and partner organisations, supporting wider network collaboration.

Data Sources

We support a wide range of industry-standard data formats including GTFS, GTFS-RT, TransXChange, and SIRI (VM/SM), alongside local authority RTI feeds. Integration with operator AVL, ETM, and ticketing systems enables us to combine multiple data sources into a single, reliable and consistent journey planning experience.
