What it does
Bus Route Navigator presents bus routes as a moving map-to-route. It highlights the route path, all stops and the distance between stops, so drivers can confidently run unfamiliar trips, cover work at short notice and avoid off-route driving.
Fewer calls to bus control
- Drivers see the intended path and all stops at a glance
- Less radio traffic when covering unfamiliar work
- Lower workload for NCC / bus control staff
- Helps keep the network moving in peak times
- On-the-fly diversions to in-service buses (in development)
Prevents off-route driving

- Minimises wrong turns and dead-end streets
