Lima’s bus company Buena Estrella has ordered a new app-based e-ticketing and real time passenger information system from Germany-based 8275 IVU Traffic Technologies, which will supply its IVU.suite standard system for planning, fleet management, ticketing, passenger information and control.


Buena Estrella currently operates a fleet of around 130 buses in the Peruvian capital and this is expected to grow to 400 vehicles by 2019.

All the company’s vehicles will be equipped with the IVU.ticket.box on-board computer. As well as containing all the peripheral ticketing devices and the card reader for electronic tickets, it also transfers the vehicle’s position data to the IVU.fleet traffic control centre system and the IVU.realtime passenger information system. The Bus.Altoke app, which is based on the customisable IVU.realtime app and has already been helping passengers in Lima with departure times and an active trip companion since last year, is connected to this. IVU.control is used for statistics and accounting.
