Issue 2 released late March 2025

The Mosaiq Global Public Transit (PT) Index uses publicly available data to build referenceable insights and benchmarks for public transit authorities and operators around the world – including regional spotlights. It will continue to build on its On-Time Performance base to become a trusted reference to make public transport more efficient, more effective and more sustainable.

NEXT EDITION COMING EARLY MARCH

Latest edition of the Global PT Index

In the first release of the Global PT Index we reviewed data from eight locations around the world and mapped them to six different scenarios as to how they define early, on-time and late performance.

There are some significant differences between the best in On-Time Performance including those that leave too early or too late. It also gives insight into the wide variance of what is ‘on-time’ around the world - which will be of as much interest to those travelling on the buses, as those who run them.

The data covers a four-week period and in our next edition we will provide updates to the locations we currently track. New locations and insights will be added over time, with the GPTI released quarterly.

For this first report we put the spotlight on eight locations and what they considered to fall within the 'on-time threshold', before a bus is determined to be early or late. This created six ‘Scenarios’ that we could then apply across the various locations.

The Index is based on publicly available data feeds and was focused on first-stop performance. We ran the data for a four week period (16 August to 13 September) in all locations except Tokyo for which we have three weeks data. We then applied that data against the thresholds defined across the six scenarios representing OTP for the represented locations.

We only used data from trips where we were able to match real time data to the schedule. We then classified as ’not detected’ those trips for which we could identify the vehicle later in the journey but could not observe its first stop performance.

The locations were selected as being geographically disperse, having publicly available data feeds and a relatively comparable number of trips tracked over the period.

Spotlight on England – March 2025

Our look at how England performs

The Mosaiq GPTI Spotlight on England uses publicly available, schedule and real-time data, that was ingested from the Bus Open Data Service (BODS). We identified six regions using a collection of stops for each local authority as found on the NaPTAN site.
