CitySwift is a public-transport analytics company founded in 2016 by Brian O'Rourke and Alan Farrelly in Galway, Ireland. The company has raised roughly €7 million in funding from investors including Gresham House Ventures and works with bus operators and transport authorities across the UK and Ireland, including Transport for Greater Manchester, National Express, and the Go-Ahead Group.
The platform ingests ticketing, GPS, and operational data from a bus network, then applies machine learning to predict journey times and passenger demand, and to recommend timetable and route adjustments. Instead of static schedules reviewed annually, operators can adapt routes as conditions change, the company says its platform optimizes more than a billion passenger journeys a year across its customer base, and cites case studies like Bus Éireann adapting routes and schedules with the tool.
CitySwift sells to public-transport operators and regulated transport authorities, not individual riders or small businesses, its customers manage entire bus networks. Pricing is custom and quoted per operator; the company does not publish rate cards, consistent with enterprise B2B transit software.
