About HAFAS

HAFAS is a suite of software for public transportation providers.

HAFAS is a comprehensive software suite from Hacon, a Siemens company, designed for public transport operators and mobility providers. It serves as the backbone for passenger information, trip planning, and ticketing systems. The platform's core strength is its powerful algorithm for multi-modal, door-to-door route planning, which incorporates everything from trains and buses to bikes and e-scooters, complete with real-time data. HAFAS includes mobile apps (HAFAS.mobile) and web frontends (HAFAS.webapp) that integrate journey planning with ticketing, allowing for a seamless user experience. For operators, it offers a suite of tools for disruption management, fleet data integration, and analytics to forecast passenger volume and optimize services. Pricing is not publicly available, as the system is tailored for enterprise-level transport authorities and requires direct consultation. The product is a B2B solution, not a direct-to-consumer app.
