InSight USA Launches GPS Tracking Solution for Fixed-Route
Bus Systems - InSight USA announces the launch
of the company's revolutionary tracking solution for fixed-route
bus systems. This solution combines GPS bus fleet tracking
with passenger information, passenger counting, and dispatcher
to driver messaging to optimize route efficiency and rider
accessibility.
California, MD September 15, 2008 - InSight USA, a leader
in GPS fleet tracking announces the release of StreetEagle
Bus, an advanced solution engineered for real-time management
of fixed-route bus systems using GPS technology. StreetEagle
Bus provides innovative capabilities to significantly improve
fleet efficiency, reduce operation costs, ensure passenger
safety, provide riders with real-time bus locations, and facilitate
seamless communications between dispatch and drivers.
InSight USA is partnered with Solstice Transportation Group,
an industry accredited company dedicated to optimization of
passenger transportation bus services. Solstice Transportation's
flagship product, Fleet Tech Manager, provides "hands-free"
reporting and analysis that allows fleet managers to directly
reduce fleet operating costs and maximize fleet utilization.
By lowering the price bar, small bus system operators can
now share the same advantages of GPS tracking and passenger
information as their large bus system counterparts.
"StreetEagle, from Insight USA, is one of the most forward
thinking and innovative tools on the market for advanced GPS
fleet tracking." Said Mitch Skyer, President, Solstice
Transportation Group. "We now have a robust solution
to provide to our bus passenger transportation customers who

(APTA) Expo in San Diego, California: October 6th - 8th, 2008.
StreetEagle Bus provides riders with real-time bus location
information through standard text messaging on their cell
phones. This allows riders to reduce waiting time and determine
the most time-efficient mode of transportation. StreetEagle
Bus optimizes rider accessibility to the bus system by equipping
each bus stop with the text message address, bus stop ID number,
and URL for web access to bus locations.
"The release of StreetEagle Bus provides an innovative,
cost effective solution for small public bus system operators
and their rider-ship." Said John Eller, President of
InSight USA, Inc. "By lowering the price bar, small bus
system operators can now share the same advantages of GPS
tracking and passenger information as their large bus system
counterparts."

items such as oil changes, transmission service, tires,
inspections, brakes, etc.
