Bus Open Data Service (BODS)

Transforming bus travel for passengers across England by running and continuously improving the world's first national open data platform for timetables, fares, and real-time locations.

We're making journeys more reliable for millions and other countries now look to implement this approach.

DfT Street Manager

Built a platform for 2.5 million street works in England annually which underpin £4bn in economic activity.

750,000 permit applications in first 3 months with a two-thirds cost reduction for authorities and utility companies.

Autonomous Vehicles (AV)

Designed and tested a national approach to collecting, governing and sharing AV data across government, regulators and industry. We developed data standards and operating models, to validate solutions through prototypes and stakeholder testing.

Our clear joined-up approach to data provided strong foundations for implementing the AV Act and safe autonomous vehicles in the UK.

“Kainos will help to improve the service, allowing bus operators in England to better provide required data to BODS more effectively. This will support crucial policy initiatives that are making public transport more accessible and easier to use.”
