(SMI) understands the challenges that municipalities and transit agencies face in delivering seamless, efficient and customer centric travel. Currently, through their modular technology platform, SMI serves more than half a billion riders annually, gathering data from each trip to better serve the next and are eager to learn more about the unique and long-term transit needs of British Columbia, and specifically, the province's ambitious transit service targets outlined in BC on the Move. While in the province for the BC Transit Workshop, SMI wanted to pursue introduction meetings with elected officials and staff in transportation and transit specific ministries to discuss the issues and goals of transit in BC, and introduce their team and transit software offerings.
