Not all your drivers know the area as well as you do.
Take Barry.
Barry has worked for years driving in another city and has just transferred to your depot. Barry is an experienced professional who just needs a bit of help training on the routes. In fact, every new driver needs help with this regardless of their experience.
Bus Directions is a route mapping app available on tablets and phones. It stores a database of all your routes, accessible to drivers where they need them the most- in their bus.
Experienced drivers can use the app to record routes in real time as they drive. They do this whilst on shift, so it is time and cost effective. It will capture the designated start and end points of each route which will help with service tracking KPI’s.
New drivers simply load the route they are driving, press start on the screen, and follow the line on the map.
Bus Directions will reduce your training costs by getting new drivers on the road sooner. It will improve your on-route and on-time running, and most importantly, reduce Barry’s stress.
I transferred depots within the same company to a town I was not familiar with. Using Bus Directions, I was able to head out driving on my first day without any fear of messing up my shift. Three months later and I still haven’t taken a wrong turn.
