The digital backbone of public transport
ETC Solutions has been the digital backbone of public transport for over 25 years. Our platform connects authorities, transport companies, and vehicle manufacturers on a shared data foundation with state-of-the-art technology, open interfaces, and the process expertise to ensure operations run smoothly.

Our impact in numbers
These numbers do not arise in the lab, but during the ongoing operations of our customers.

From Practice
Success Stories

Public Transport Authorities & Quality Management – BAV Switzerland
Nationwide quality management in public transport
The Swiss Federal Office of Transport (BAV) uses a central platform that connects the federation, cantons, and transport companies, thus enabling transparent KPIs, quality reports, as well as connection and punctuality analyses in the entire Swiss public transport network.

Passenger Information Module Subway - BVG Berlin
Passenger information in real time for millions of travelers
ETC Solutions has modernized and future-proofed BVG's passenger information.

Vehicle manufacturer – Siemens Mobility
Stable passenger information during fleet transitions
As part of the Mireo replacement fleet project on the MEX13 line in Baden-Württemberg, the ETC Platform serves as the central passenger information system for the entire fleet.
The ETC Principle
Five characteristics that define us
Practice
Born from public transport
We come from the railway industry and understand public transport from practice. For over 25 years, we have been working with transport companies, authorities, and vehicle manufacturers. This knowledge is embedded in every function of our platform.
Networking
The active networker
We connect what is often thought of separately in public transport today. Our platform brings authorities, transport companies, and vehicle manufacturers together on a common data basis. The result: true overview instead of isolated solutions.
Openness
Open instead of closed
The ETC Platform integrates into existing system landscapes without creating parallel worlds. No forced migration, no data loss. What works today remains preserved and is better networked.
Innovation
Innovation-driven, operationally proven
We continuously develop our platform, always in dialogue with our customers. New functions arise where operations require them. Over 120 transport companies in 9 countries use the result daily.
Know-how
Network and process know-how
We bring not only technology but also experience in collaboration across all stakeholders. Because we know the processes and requirements of all involved, projects are implemented faster and integrations are more secure.
Mission
What drives us
For more than 25 years, ETC Solutions has been developing software solutions for public transport. With locations in Berlin and Olten (Switzerland) and solutions used daily by 98% of German private railway companies, ETC is one of the leading technology partners in the industry.
From our roots in rail transport, we know the requirements of authorities, transport companies, railway companies, and vehicle manufacturers from decades of project experience. This knowledge shapes solutions that don't just deliver technically, but meaningfully improve operations, passenger information, and collaboration between all stakeholders.
The digitization of public transport requires more than standalone applications. It demands the intelligent integration of planning, operations, vehicles, personnel, infrastructure, and passenger communication. This is exactly where ETC Solutions comes in: We connect processes, data, and systems on a common platform, creating the foundation for efficient, transparent, and future-proof mobility.
Our goal is to make public transport simpler, more reliable, and more attractive. To achieve this, we develop solutions that are used daily by train, metro, tram, and bus operators and reliably connect millions of passengers to their destinations.
