If Your Scheduling Still Lives in Spreadsheets, You're Not Alone

Most small transit agencies are managing routes across a mix of Excel files, PDFs, and tribal knowledge. When a schedule changes — a new timepoint, a modified run, an updated block — it means touching multiple documents and hoping nothing gets out of sync.

TMS Online puts everything in one place. Make a change once, and your timetables, blocks, and exports update together.

No more version confusion

One system of record for your stops, routes, timetables, and blocks.

Schedule changes in minutes, not hours

Adjust a run or retime a route without rebuilding everything from scratch.

Ready to export when you are

Generate GTFS and other standard outputs directly from your live data.

Stop & Timepoint Management

Add, edit, and organize your stops and timepoints in one place. Changes flow through to your routes and timetables automatically.

Routes & Service Patterns

Define route patterns and see how vehicles travel your network. Supports multiple service types and day-of-week variations.

Timetable Building

Build timetables from your route patterns and headways. Export rider-facing schedules or share internally for review.

AI-Assisted Vehicle Blocking

Let the system find an efficient blocking solution automatically. Minimize dead miles and vehicle requirements without manual trial and error.

Manual Block Workbench

Prefer to build your own blocks? The workbench gives you full control - useful when you have specific operational constraints.

Reporting & System Productivity

Pull reports on revenue hours, vehicle utilization, and schedule performance. Useful for board reports, grant applications, and internal planning.

Automatic Run Cutting

Generate a full run cut automatically using your defined run types and constraints. Review the proposed runs, check the pay/platform ratio, and save when ready — or adjust manually from there.

GTFS Export

Export your data as a GTFS feed when you're ready. Configure service dates, holiday overrides, and field mappings, then generate the file directly from your live schedule data.

We'll walk you through the platform with your own routes and data. No sales pitch — just a practical look at whether it fits.

Don't Want to Manage the Data Yourself?

Some agencies prefer to hand off the data work entirely. We can manage your transit data on our servers — uploading stops and routes, handling schedule updates, and delivering the files you need (GTFS, timetable exports, and more) on your timeline.

It works well for smaller agencies without dedicated scheduling staff, or for teams going through a system transition. Get in touch and we can talk through what makes sense for your situation.

Used by Transit Agencies Across North America

TMS Online is trusted by agencies including Everett Transit, Owen Sound Transit, and Orangeville Transit.
