Frequently asked questions
What is TDS?
TDS (Transcor Data Services) builds the operating system for ground transportation: schedules, fares, inventory, payments, distribution and data on one platform. It also runs the bus network that connects carriers across the US, Canada and Mexico.
Who is TDS for?
Intercity bus lines, regional and commuter carriers, airport and shuttle services, and multimodal networks. The platform is built for bus, rail, transit, ferry and shuttle services.
Do we keep our own brand and pricing?
Yes. TDS is a neutral network: you keep your brand, your fares and your customers, and gain maximum exposure through the network and its sales channels.
Can we sell through online travel agencies?
Yes. The Retail Distribution Hub connects you to dozens of OTAs through one integration. You choose which schedules each OTA can sell, how many seats it gets, and what fares it shows.
How do we get our schedules into Google Maps?
TDS builds, validates and maintains your GTFS feed, plus GTFS-Realtime from your vehicle tracking, so your service appears correctly in Google Maps, Apple Maps and other trip planners.
Can passengers track their bus?
Yes. Bus Tracker shows the bus on a live map with stop-by-stop progress and estimated arrival times. Passengers can find their trip by order number, schedule number or location, on desktop or mobile.
