خسارة العملاء من تأخر التواصل مع الركاب
Estimated 5-15% reduction in repeat passenger revenue per disruption event. For a mid-sized transit operator with AED 50M annual passenger revenue, each major disruption (weather, construction) causes ~AED 2.5-7.5M in lost/rescheduled bookings. Manual notification delays add 2-4 hours of customer service labor per disruption (AED 500-1,000 in call center costs per event).RTA Dubai experienced passenger call volumes and trust erosion when communication about delays/closures was not proactive. The Swiftly platform case study shows that lack of real-time visibility into bus operations forced call centers to put passengers on hold during 'Where's my bus?' complaints. Without instant notification of disruptions, passengers abandon services for competitors (taxis, private transport). During December 2024 UAE weather disruptions, RTA suspended intercity bus services between Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman, yet passengers were not systematically notified in real-time, causing repeat complaints and lost bookings.
