Frequently Asked Questions

Bus Route Trainer is a mobile app for bus drivers who need to learn new routes. It shows the exact bus route on a map and guides you along it with GPS tracking and voice-prompted turn-by-turn navigation — like a sat-nav, but following the bus route instead of the fastest car route.

Choose your region and route, then drive the route in your own car. The app tracks your GPS position on the exact bus route path and announces upcoming turns, street names, and bus stops as you approach them. See our How It Works page for more detail.
