Connexionz Makes Another Major Sales Breakthrough in California

Connexionz  success  in  winning  Pasadena  follows  closely  on  from  the  completion  of  a  similar RTPI contract in Santa Clarita in April 2011 which is located just 50 km to the north east of the City of Pasadena.  Connexionz is also currently in the final stages of deploying an RTPI contract for Tri Delta Transit, located in the bay area of San Francisco, which is due to be completed imminently.  Other Connexionz systems in the US are located in the City of Charlottesville, the University of Virginia and Arlington County.

"In  the  past  two  years  Connexionz  marketing  efforts  have  been  primarily  in  the  greater California area, and we are pleased to now see significant reward resulting from our selective focus on prospective customers in the vicinity of our strong reference sites in Santa Clarita and Tri  Delta  Transit.   With  our  success  in  the  City  of  Pasadena  Connexionz  is  now  even  more strongly positioned to secure further contracts, as this project will add to our list of reference sites  in  California,  and  we  have  the  confidence  of  our  customers  based  on  our  success  in delivering  contracts on time and according to the contract requirements" said Roger Carruthers Connexionz CEO.

 "We were selected based upon the proven quality of our product, its feature rich functionality,  future proof platform and our proven engineering and project management capabilities", said Rhod Pickavance, Director of Sales at Connexionz.

The  City  of  Pasadena  has  a  population  of  approximately  146,000  and  is  visited  by  millions  of people  annually.  The  Pasadena  Area  Rapid  Transit  System  (ARTS) provides public transportation to over 1.65 million passengers annually. 

Connexionz  produces  Real  Time  Passenger  Information (RTPI)  and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for  public  transport agencies. These systems, which collectively form part of the Connexionz TransitManager platform,  allow  passengers  to  receive  up  to  the  minute  arrival  times  through  a  variety  of convenient options including interactive web sites, SMS, smart phones, dial up voice response systems and a variety of interactive bus stop signs.  TransitManager also assists bus operators with the management of their fleets and assists local government officials to administer their public transport systems, assisting transit agencies to further improve upon their service to the public, which ultimately results in an increase and retention of ridership.
