Tyms

Tyms is a data company focused on one objective: helping make rail and public transport a central option for future mobility.

We build detailed pictures of how transport systems behave: who travels, at what price, with which level of service and reliability, and how rail, coach and air compete on each corridor. By combining large-scale web harvesting, open data and official statistics, we reconstruct real market dynamics rather than relying on assumptions or averages. Historically, Tyms has focused on Western European markets, with growing coverage in Eastern Europe, Asia, the United States, the Middle East and Latin America.

On top of this data layer, Tyms develops models to analyse scenarios, not just describe the status quo. Our algorithms simulate pricing strategies, modal shifts, load factors and revenues, so that decision-makers can compare options: for example, adding evening trains instead of more flights, or sizing capacity for a new high-speed line.

Our work is “decision-ready”: compact indicators, uncertainty clearly stated, and visualizations designed around how humans actually read dashboards. We organise results as narratives that connect operations, markets and territories, rather than as purely technical outputs or decontextualized KPIs. We prefer a few clear, well-explained insights over dense, high-friction dashboard platforms that require heavy exploration from users. The same infrastructure supports strategic briefs, exploratory studies and long-term observatories of rail and low-carbon mobility.

Tyms works with operators, infrastructure managers, public authorities and research partners who want to use data as a core tool to plan transport systems that are fairer, cleaner, more efficient and more resilient.
