You’ll be working on guiding and implementing a strategy to optimize for occupancy and revenue, as a part of the planning team.

Problem statement

How many buses should we be operating on any given day between two cities, what is the best time to run those, and at what price per seat do we make the maximum revenue for that trip?

Responsibilities

• Understand historical scheduling decisions to understand:
  • What has been done so far and why?
  • What has worked and why?
  • What has not worked and why?
• Build robust ways to factor in user demand into scheduling decisions.

• Analyze traffic patterns to improve the efficiency of schedules.
• Speak with users to understand their pain points and convert insights into decisions.
• Build knowledge on how the time of departure and travel time plays a role in the user’s decision-making process.
• Create schedules for different routes to optimize for occupancy.
• A/B test different approaches and build strategies to optimize for occupancy.
• Working on planning, testing, and implementing pricing strategies that help us achieve maximum revenue per busload. This will be about 50% of the job
