    ;it? today3s increased fuel costs and tig?t budgets at all

    go8ernmental le8els, bus companies are under pressure to perform

    it? feer resources. 1ucily, tec?nology is maing it easier. One of

    t?e most eLecti8e ays for a 8e?icle-based organi>ation to stay up and

    running and competiti8e is by implementing 0PS-based tracing,

    a8ailable in a 8ariety of softare platforms from numerous 8endors.

    Almost e8eryt?ing monitored by 0PS 8e?icle tracing can or to ?elp

    bring don fuel e7penditures for an organi>ation. !or e7ample,

    speeding is a ?uge factor in ?ig? fuel usage. A 0PS tracing solution

    can pro8ide speed information and send alerts ?en a 8e?icle e7ceeds

    t?e speed limit.

    &7cessi8e idling can also contribute to ?ig? fuel costs. A 0PS

    Qeet tracing system can ?elp reduce idling times by alerting t?e user

    ?ene8er a 8e?icle idles longer t?an a pre-set duration. By using t?e

    tools in 0PS Qeet tracing, a bus company can certainly ser8e its

    clients better. 0etting reports of a 8e?icle3s route can ?elp t?e user

    trac arri8als and departures. By pro8iding accurate and 8eriable

    proof of ser8ices, it3s a 8aluable tool for re8ieing routes and

    freFuency of stops, ?ic? can ?elp a company streamline operations

    and run more eIciently.#5
