Topics Shaping the Industry
The bus industry is facing a profound transformation. A shortage of skilled workers, rising customer expectations, and more complex travel processes are increasing the pressure on companies to make their processes more efficient and more digital.
57 %
of bus drivers are over 55 years old. Demographic change is hitting the bus industry with full force. Many drivers will retire in the coming years, while there is a shortage of qualified young talent.
65 %
of bus companies have to turn down customer requests. The labor shortage is already having a direct impact on business. Many companies are unable to operate scheduled trips or accept additional orders.
88 %
of bus companies view bureaucracy and administrative burdens as a challenge. Paper lists, manual coordination, emails, and phone chains still characterize the day-to-day work routine at many companies. At the same time, the demands on documentation and communication are increasing.
