Bus information is a fundamental part of the business.  It is used mainly for a driver to login to the driver app and allows  passenger/operator GPS real time tracking.  A passenger app user, selects their favorite operator/favorite route and bus information is visible for them to follow.*  The operator uses their GPS screen in the Operator Portal to track active buses.**  

*For more information on passenger app bus tracking, please type "passenger app user guide " into the search bar.

**In the Operator Portal, click the GPS Tracking tab to track the active buses.
