Airports

Shorter curbside waits through every arrival peak

When a bank of flights lands, travelers with bags crowd the curb while bunched shuttles leave the remote lots waiting. BusGenius keeps lot and terminal shuttles evenly spaced, so every stop gets steady service through the peak.

  • Pickups on request at the curb and the lotsTravelers scan a QR code to join the queue, dispatch sends a bus, and reports compare each stop's waits to its goal.
  • Next-shuttle times at every stopCurbside screens and the passenger app show when the next shuttle arrives, so no one stands at the curb wondering.
  • Terminal and airline announcementsEach stop is called out automatically with its terminal and airlines, so travelers get off at the right door.
In a remarkably short time, we've seen noticeable improvements in shuttle reliability and the overall rider experience.

Universities

Steady service through every class change

At class change, campus loops bunch up: three buses arrive together, then none for ten minutes, and students miss class. BusGenius keeps buses evenly spaced around every loop, without a dispatcher.

  • Ridership that makes the case for student feesSensors count every boarding by route, stop, and hour, so you can plan service around class schedules and show what fees pay for.
  • The next bus on every student's phoneThe passenger app and campus screens show live arrivals and how full each bus is, so students know whether to wait or walk.
  • Game days and Commencement on the same systemRun event shuttles as charter routes, tracked and counted like your regular loops.

Medical centers

On time for every appointment and shift change

A gap in shuttle service makes a patient late for an appointment and a nurse late for shift change. BusGenius keeps shuttles evenly spaced between garages, satellite lots, clinics, and the main entrance.

  • Service sized to shift changeSensors count boardings by stop and hour, so you can add buses for shift change and pull them overnight while spacing adjusts on its own.
  • Arrival times in lobbies and garagesStop displays show patients and visitors when the next shuttle arrives, before they walk outside.
  • Every entrance announced on boardStops are called out automatically by building and entrance, which helps patients find their way and helps you meet ADA stop-announcement requirements.
BusGenius has eliminated the complaints we received from riders in the past.

Hotels

Fewer “Where's the shuttle?” calls to the front desk

Guests waiting on an airport run call the front desk, and the desk rarely knows where the shuttle is either. BusGenius shows guests and staff where the shuttle is and when it will arrive.

  • Pickups requested from a phoneGuests at the terminal join the queue from their phone instead of calling, and your team sees every waiting party and sends the shuttle.
  • Departure times in the lobbyA lobby display shows the next airport run, so guests head out when the shuttle does.
  • Your welcome on every rideAnnouncements greet guests aboard and point out the restaurant, spa, and nearby sights, automatically on every trip.

Corporate campuses

A commuter shuttle that wins riders from their cars

Employees leave the car at home only when the shuttle is easier than parking. BusGenius keeps commuter and campus shuttles evenly spaced and puts live arrivals on every phone and lobby screen.

  • Live arrivals at every deskThe passenger app, a web link, and lobby screens show when the shuttle is close, so employees leave their desk at the right time.
  • Ridership for your commute programSensors count every boarding by stop and hour, the numbers your transportation demand management and parking plans run on.
  • Changes communicated in one stepMessage drivers from the live map and alert riders in the app when a building closes or a route changes.

Cruise ports

Lot shuttles that know which ship is in port

On turnaround day, passengers heading home ride back to the lot while the next sailing's passengers ride to the terminal, sometimes for two ships at once. BusGenius runs each ship's shuttles from your ship schedule.

  • Riders counted by ship and cruise lineSensors tag every boarding to its ship and total it by cruise line, so you can report each line's ridership.
  • Each cruise line's announcements, automaticallyEvery shuttle plays its cruise line's welcome and stop messages, with no dispatcher stepping in.
  • The ship schedule, built inEnter each ship's port days once, and drivers can only log in to ships that are in port that day.
