Bălți public transport modernization project

Overview

The municipality of Bălți, Moldova, is preparing to test a new digital platform designed to modernize and monitor public transportation. Funded through the EIT Urban Mobility RAPTOR 2026 program, the project—titled ‘Urban Way’—was initiated after Zexsoft founder Șerban Pîrvulescu secured a €60,000 European grant.

The system will utilize GPS data from buses and trolleybuses to provide real-time arrival estimates for passengers via existing transport applications and electronic station panels. Beyond passenger convenience, the platform is intended to assist local authorities in planning transit routes and schedules by simulating how factors such as traffic changes or temperature variations affect transport efficiency.
