Let’s dive into some key insights:
Three key areas where GPS tracking can help improve passenger transportation businesses
#1 Customer experience always matters, but now more so than ever
According to our latest Fleet Technology Trends Report 2023 for the UK, fleets improved customer service in all the top industries. In fact, 70% of survey respondents that implemented a GPS fleet tracking solution improved their customer service.
Furthermore, customer service emerged as the most improved differentiator among businesses. This is crucial for passenger transportation businesses as good customer service can help increase not only customer loyalty but also customer retention.
The key for fleet-reliant businessess is to take a thoughtful approach when addressing customer experience and deliver an innovative and quality service. GPS fleet tracking technology and software can help fleets:
- Determine which vehicles should attend the next customer.
- Provide your customer with an accurate ETA.
- Optimise routes, choose the safest/fastest and avoid traffic jams.
- Boost preventive maintenance for all your vehicles.
- Promote teams’ safety monitoring daily operation in real-time on a live map.
#2: Real fleet insights for your business to streamline your daily operations
The accelerated rhythm of daily operations challenges passenger transportation business owners to have a clear overview of key information. This includes fuel consumption, distance travelled, driving behaviour and the maintenance status of all vehicles.
GPS fleet tracking solutions can help improve key areas of a business and positively affect its bottom line. Thanks to real insights, it's now possible to transform into a focused data-driven business in order to face daily challenges with smart data and business intelligence tools.
Among GPS tracking technology users in the passenger transportation industry, 78% found them ‘extremely’ or ‘very beneficial’ to manage their fleets. The top goals achieved through GPS technology included:
- Improved customer service

#3: Going green goes far beyond fuel consumption and fleet tech can help
GPS fleet tracking helped businesses in the passenger transportation industry to improve strategic KPIs. 57% of respondents reduced their fuel consumption which has a direct impact on their daily operational costs.
Another key point is the reduction of CO2 emissions with 44% of respondents reducing their emissions and moving towards a greener business.
The European Green Deal states the commitment of the EU to become climate-neutral by 2050 (2). Emissions from light commercial vehicles will also have to go down by 31% between 2023-2030 (3). It is a compromise between sustainability, the environment and our society.
So the passenger transportation industry has to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and position their business to become part of the solution. As customers will expect greener business practices.
GPS fleet tracking solutions can help your business to:
- Reduce CO2 emissions
- Monitor carbon footprint
- Boost fuel efficiency
- Reduce fuel consumption
