Halton Transport adds OmniDAS to existing scheduling software

After using Omnibus scheduling software for many years, Halton Transport has now added OmniDAS for depot allocation. The Merseyside local bus operator runs 73 buses and 128 drivers and has installed OmniDAS to replace an old driver allocation and sign-on system.

Halton’s Managing Director, Colin Stafford, is full of praise for Omnibus software. He says: “We have been using OmniROTA, OmniTIMES and OmniBASE which have delivered significant benefits in terms of operational efficiencies and ease of scheduling. We were very keen to update our depot allocation system and so OmniDAS was the obvious choice to deliver further benefits.”

The system was installed last month and the Omnibus team has been busy training Halton’s scheduling staff. The training has gone very smoothly, as Colin explains: “Everyone is very enthusiastic about the new software and we are looking forward to seeing what it can do for us.”
