Who We Are

Exclusively dedicated to public transport

Murphy Stone Analytics is an Australian-based data and automation consultancy specialising in public transport.

Across tendering and franchising, Hastus integration, scheduling analytics, and bespoke automation, our team brings decades of transport data and analytics experience — with the depth to tackle even the most complex challenges operators and authorities face.

Our team brings a global focus to every engagement, with projects delivered across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and North America — always grounded in evidence-based analysis, practical automation, and solutions that actually get used.

80+
Years of combined transport data and analytics experience — all within public transport, across operators, authorities, and scheduling environments in AU, NZ, UK & SG.
Pure Transport Focus
We work exclusively in public transport. Faster onboarding, deeper institutional knowledge, and solutions built for how agencies and operators actually work.
Automation-First
We build tools that make quality analysis repeatable. Our automation has reduced output turnarounds from weeks to hours with increased accuracy and built-in error detection.
Tender & Bid Specialists
Extensive experience across transport franchise tenders. We know what authorities look for and how to build the evidence base that underpins a strong, competitive submission.

How We Work

From problem to solution

1
Discover
We understand your data environment, scheduling setup, and the exact problem — no assumptions.
2
Design
We design a bespoke solution — OIG interface, automation bot, data model, or analytical framework.
3
Deliver
We build iteratively — wireframe, prototype, UAT — so you test and refine before final delivery.
4
Support
Full documentation, training, and ongoing support to ensure the solution keeps working long after handover.
Technology Expertise

  • Custom OIG extractions producing multi-dimensional schemas built for downstream analytics
  • Automated daily exports with intelligent change-detection to eliminate redundant processing
  • Network and schedule creation from any data source — turning raw inputs into structured, usable scheduling data
  • End-to-end migration from existing platforms, preserving historical data and operational continuity
  • Python-based data models that process schedules, frequencies, and network inputs at scale
  • General support, troubleshooting, and enhancements as your needs evolve
