DESCRIPTION

A public transit agency in Saskatchewan, Canada is seeking a qualified vendor to implement a real-time GPS bus tracking system, including development and deployment of a robust mobile application and cloud-based backend. The required solution must provide users with live, second-by-second bus location data, highly accurate arrival predictions, and interactive route maps accessible via both mobile devices (iOS & Android) and web interfaces.

The vendor should have a proven track record in deploying GPS-based, real-time transit tracking platforms for agencies of comparable size and complexity. Key features for the public-facing application include viewing live bus locations, accessing up-to-the-minute arrival information, trip planning, receiving service alerts and detour notifications, saving favorite routes, and a strong focus on accessibility. The solution must process continuous high-precision GPS data streams, offer secure web-based dashboards for staff (fleet monitoring, historical playback, reporting), and enforce data security via encryption, secure APIs, and authenticated access. The contract will span five years and include comprehensive documentation of data management and disaster recovery processes.
