A large part of GIRO's success and longevity is due to our valued customers who continue to support and challenge us year after year. Thank you for your encouragement!
- Emmanuel Martin, KEOLIS Tours (France)
"Thanks to GIRO, we launched our new network successfully! I want to thank you for the work, help, and support you have given us. The introduction of multi-line/interlining is a major new development for us that works well and is appreciated by our drivers: thanks to modifications made to the AVL interface and the addition of references to the driver timecard, there have been virtually no errors; same goes for lines with branches.
We greatly appreciated all the work GIRO did on our rule version during our visit to Montreal; thanks to you, we were able to validate our schedules on the first attempt… which was previously unheard of.
Thank you once again for the high-quality work you did in record time. When help is needed, it’s great to know we can rely on professionals… who know how to laugh every now and then!”
- Paul M. Strobis Sr., Retired from MBTA (USA)
“I was first introduced to computer generated scheduling with the purchase of HASTUS and subsequent installation and training directed by Paul Hamelin (now president of GIRO) back in 1986. Paul and his troupe authored an amazing transformation of an entire scheduling/planning department. The savings in time and preparation allowed the department to flourish and create substantial improvements in not only vehicle scheduling, but also run-cutting, reporting, and public timetables.
GIRO’s HASTUS User Group initiative created a network of common usage and problem solving in computer and real-life transit situations… and boosted our knowledge and eagerness to fully use the product. Kudos to them for that.
After some 30 years in the transit industry, I can honestly say that I have never seen a more prosperous buyer/seller relationship. HASTUS has made a cost-efficient and productive impact within the Boston area. Thanks GIRO… you're the best.”
- Dick Honing, Connexxion (Netherlands)
“Also from the Netherlands, our congratulations with your anniversary. They say life begins at 30, so I think that promises a lot for the future seeing how much GIRO has already achieved in the last 30 years! Thanks to everyone at GIRO for the good work and the pleasant cooperation in the last years!”
- Dave Rynerson, NJ TRANSIT (USA)
“Congratulations on 30 years of great customer service, a remarkable record in the software and transit industries. From my experiences in Seattle and New Jersey, I can attest to the consistent high quality of both HASTUS software and GIRO project staff. Best wishes for the next 30 years as well.”
- Peter Lamberty, Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (Germany)
"Compliments to GIRO for its 30 years of existence! For a customer to always be 100% satisfied with a product is unrealistic, but to always be 99% satisfied is possible. We’ve experienced it through our cooperation with GIRO for more than 9 years! Thanks to the staff at GIRO, and keep up the good work!”
- Joe Vicente, OCTA (USA)
“Congratulations! You have come a long way. So it must be in 1979 that I first worked with Jean-Yves when the MACRO was demonstrated at SCRTD (now LACMTA) to cost out work rules. It's been a wonderful relationship since then. The highlight was when we implemented the Micro Runcutting System the first time system-wide and enabled us to save $2 million on pay hours. The product was acquired after a demonstration by two vendors on who could provide the best savings, and GIRO won the contest.
For the past 30 years, I’ve worked continuously with the HASTUS system at various transit agencies. I have always admired your service and the quality of the product you continue to develop. More power to you!"
