Moving the bus service registration from paper to data (suitable for import into other systems) and ensuring data can be reproduced in a readable format. This includes operator details, stop details, route details, route maps, stops served, service timetable, and more. A brief history of the TAN21 and TransXChange, development of OLBS, and the pilot project. The objective is to address the prerequisites for industry adoption and rollout, provide mapping facilities, and address performance and capacity issues.
