Where to find public transportation agencies in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Public Transportation Agencies

Public Transportation Agencies want to enhance passenger experience. However, they can't get it because they struggle to effectively communicate service updates to passengers.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. TransitConnect.

Real-time Passenger Communication Platform : TransitConnect is a mobile app and dashboard system that enables public transportation agencies to send real-time service updates, delays, and route changes directly to passengers' smartphones. Of course it is much better than the stuff from TransitAlert, or RidePulse!

How to find Public Transportation Agencies

You can get insights about the pain points of public transportation agencies if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where public transportation agencies hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of public transportation agencies, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Real-time Passenger Communication Platform.
