HASTUS

GIRO was founded in the 1970s through the work of Jean-Yves Blais, a student at the Université de Montréal, and his professor Jean-Marc Rousseau. Focusing on the task of public transportation schedules, the two founders developed expertise in operational research and modelling. Their work paved the way for the creation of HASTUS and GeoRoute... In the 90s, GIRO begins establishing itself as a company of choice internationally. With 15 clients, including the cities of Los Angeles, Barcelona, Oslo and Helsinki, HASTUS becomes more and more popular around the world. GIRO then makes a major decision to switch to product mode and invest in a long-term vision. Well established in its industry, the company counts 100 employees.
