Rise Digital Media has officially launched Rise V3, the latest evolution of its transport technology platform designed to support operators, councils and partners at scale.
V3 represents a major step forward in how transport services are managed, monitored and delivered — bringing together passenger-facing tools, real-time data, ticketing, payments and operational control into a single, unified platform.
Built in close collaboration with operators across the UK and Ireland, Rise V3 is designed to handle the complexity of modern transport networks while remaining flexible enough to support local requirements and future growth.
A Unified Platform for Passengers, Operators and Authorities
At the core of Rise V3 is a shared platform architecture that connects every part of the transport ecosystem:
Passenger mobile apps and websites
Real-time vehicle tracking and service information
Account-based ticketing and payments
Corporate, school and concessionary transport schemes
Operator back-office and reporting tools
This unified approach eliminates the fragmentation typically seen across legacy systems, giving operators a single source of truth for services, passengers and performance.
Advanced Passenger Experience
Rise V3 underpins a modern passenger experience across mobile and web channels, including:
Live vehicle tracking and service visibility
Journey planning and service discovery
Account-based ticketing and secure payments
Real-time arrivals and departures at stop level
Consistent UX across brands and operating companies
The platform is designed to support high-volume passenger usage and multi-operator deployments, with performance and reliability built in from the ground up.
Flexible, Scalable Ticketing and Payments
V3 introduces enhanced flexibility for managing complex ticketing schemes, including:
Live vehicle tracking and service visibility
Multi-product and multi-operator ticketing
Corporate and employer-funded travel schemes
School transport solutions for local authorities, including eligibility rules, financial controls and invoicing
QR code, account-based and device-integrated validation
Integrated payment processing, refunds, disputes and reconciliation
All ticketing and payment activity is centrally managed through the Rise platform, reducing operational overhead and improving auditability.
Real-Time Data and Operational Insight
Rise V3 provides operators with comprehensive visibility of services in operation, including:
Full SIRI VM integration for real-time vehicle movement
Stop-level arrivals and departures
Live service monitoring across websites, apps and internal dashboards
Data consistency across passenger and operator views
This real-time foundation improves service transparency for passengers while giving operators the insight needed to manage performance proactively.
Comprehensive Operator Back Office
The V3 platform includes a powerful back-office environment enabling operators to manage all aspects of their transport services, including:
Ticket products, pricing and availability
Passenger accounts, CRM data and support logs
Payment flows, disputes and financial reporting
Corporate and authority-funded schemes
Multi-brand and multi-company operations
Designed for operational teams, finance and customer services alike, the back office provides the control and governance required for complex transport environments.
Built for Growth and Long-Term Evolution
Rise V3 has been architected to support long-term evolution rather than one-off deployments. The platform enables:
Rapid onboarding of new operating companies
Consistent rollout across multiple brands
Continuous feature delivery without disruption
Integration with third-party systems and data providers
Operators using Rise V3 benefit from a platform that grows with their network, adapting to changing passenger expectations, regulatory requirements and commercial models.
A Proven Platform in Live Operation
Rise V3 is already live with multiple operators, supporting over 100,000 active users across mobile and web platforms and managing millions of journeys annually.
The launch of V3 marks a significant milestone in Rise’s mission to provide modern, scalable transport technology that simplifies operations and improves the passenger experience.
