The '''Public Transport Information and Priority System''', abbreviated '''PTIPS''',

is a computer-based system that brings together information about public transport entities, such as buses, ferries, trams etc. Where applicable, PTIPS can also provide transport vehicles with priority at traffic signals.

PTIPS consists of a number of hardware and software components installed on-board buses which wirelessly communicate with a central set of servers. PTIPS also relies on an interface with Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System ([[SCATS]] - to provide the priority feature) and bus/route/timetable data provided by bus organisations and government authorities.
