The '''Public Transport Information and Priority System''', abbreviated '''PTIPS''', is a group of technologies developed by the [[Roads and Traffic Authority]] aimed at providing better service times to buses in [[Sydney]].

The bus priority system comprises of ana data collection and transmission system on-board the bus and the centrally located PTIPS [[datacentre]] that analyses data received from each bus.

The on-board system collects ___location, time and route information from the fare collection system and a [[Global Positioning System|GPS]] locator. It then transmits this information to PTIPS via a data radio service. PTIPS analyses this information, and if the bus satisfies the criteria for priority it passes a priority request to [[Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System]] (SCATS) to adjust the timing of traffic signals ahead on route.
